In August 2023, MNGD project members visited an area about 1 km south of the center of village B in South Omo zone, Ethiopia. The residents of village B must pass through this area to reach the health center. However, this area is covered with black cotton soil, which makes it difficult to go through at certain times of the year, and access to the health center for the residents of Village B is limited.
