Ethiopia: A Development Story


Rick Steves’ Europe © 2020 | Venturing beyond Europe, and with local experts as his guides, Rick uses Ethiopia as a classroom for understanding global hunger and extreme poverty — and how to beat it. Together, we witness the importance of water, education, empowering women, and nutrition during a child’s first thousand days. And we see…

  1. My best friend was born and raised in Ethiopia until 2013. She now lives in Chicago and goes to school in Madison alongside me. Thanks so much for doing an episode about her home country. We absolutely loved it.

  2. guys….. plant…… seeds….. that grow there, figure out how to do it, build greenhouses, ask for help
    irrigate the water — dig wells, build pipes, live near the water, build farms near the water — plan it out, omg I can't….
    sorry Ethiopia, God bless you
    ❤❤❤

  4. Thank you Rick for highlighting the beautiful country and people of Ethiopia. As the Executive Director of Water to Thrive, I've witnessed the growth and progress over the last nine years since I've been traveling to east Africa building water wells for those most needy, rural villages. You shared the poverty and struggles in a dignified manner and your questions at the end are consistent with my own inner conflicts…should I feel guilty (because I have so much and so many have so little)? Why should I care? Can I make a difference? In need, each of us can make a difference and it is the essence of our existence…to help others along our journey.

  5. Keep western governments out of Africa, and we will be witness to the greatest accomplishments and discoveries in the world spill out of her; not to mention the finality of "wild adventurism" due to climate change….sadly pbs has become a woke mouthpiece…..but I love Rick Steves! Grew up watching his amazing shows; especially in the 2000's. 😉

  6. Having been a volunteer Physical Therapist for Malawi Against Polio (1991-1993), I've had both frustration and hope for our world. It is great that Rick has decided to shed light on some of our world's challenges, and some of the possible solutions. I would also like to see episodes that address overpopulation, access to family planning, and how having smaller families is better for everyone. Additionally, it would be nice if Rick could include a list of companies and organizations we could support, and what changes we could make to improve our world.

  7. I find it ironic that people in developing countries, who are not responsible for their poverty or for climate change, or doing the most to reverse both. Meanwhile, Western nations that exploit the developing world and create the majority of emissions, are taking little action.
