Transformation in Ethiopia




These photos from Dieter Schneider show work in Ethiopia which has changed lives . Through the charity Caritas ,a group of wallers from Switzerland have been helping the local people to build a series of retaining walls not along the valley sides but across the valleys. As a result the sudden flow of occasional heavy rain which normally scours away the very sparse soil is delayed by the dams.The effect is to create flat areas of rich fertile ground in a part of the country normally thought of as semi desert, which only supported a few goats in the past. This is a project where dry stone walls have meant that folk who were living at a subsistence level are now producing a surplus of food .A great credit to everyone involved.
