The NGO ADS (Action, Development and Sustainability), the UNED and the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) are behind ‘Ethiopia unknown’, a humanitarian project and an exhibition, through a photographic tour, which highlights issues related to the water and with girls in Ethiopia, through the eyes of the Spanish photographer and researcher at the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry of the Higher Council of Scientific Research (CSIC) Pepo Prieto.
The exhibition, which can be visited from 16 to 27 January 2023 at the UNED Center in Cartagena, consists of a collection of 55 photographs and portraits in black and white and color that value the lives of women and girls in Ethiopia. The inauguration will take place on Monday 16 January (time to be confirmed).
This exhibition takes Ethiopia as a paradigm, where 62% of the population has no access to drinking water and millions of women and girls spend five or more hours a day drinking water (since it is one of the roles that women in Africa play), even though it’s unhealthy and dangerous. The lack of infrastructure, increasing desertification and recurrent droughts condemn many of them to poverty, disease and lack of education. The lack of access to water limits girls’ educational opportunities and makes it difficult for these future women to be integrated into the productive fabric of the communities. This exhibition also shows the transformation taking place in different parts of the country thanks to the action of the NGO ADS, which is working on the construction of infrastructures (water wells with extraction pumps).
