This woman from Southern Ethiopia walks kilometers, each morning, just to take water from the river. And she is grateful for that. In other parts of the country the drought has dramatic consequences. There are places on our planet where water is pure gold and locals really struggle for it. And it’s incredible how much humanity and beauty can be found inside these hardworking people. #TheAtlasOfBeauty #Ethiopia #AroundTheWorld
