Abstract: This article analyzes a major health issue in two developing countries: the water crisis in Ethiopia and Kenya,which is caused by millions of people being locked out from having access to safe water and sanitation. Ethiopiaâ??s and Kenyaâ??s high mortality rates are a direct result of waterborne diseases. This article examines the evolution of the water crisis in Ethiopia and Kenya by reviewing access rates,the evolution of infant mortality rates,the burden the collection of water puts on children and women,and the lack of education.
