Several water-related projects are underway in the Tigray region, North of the country, at the border with Eritrea.
The “Donate the Water” scheme has been made possible through the partnership between the Butterfly Charity Foundation and ECC-SDOAd-B (Catholic Association of Adigrat) to implement several water-related projects. The above follows the recent severe drought that the local people have not experienced since 1985.
Butterfly Foundation, as of 2015, has implemented, at Daya, a small village six miles from Alitena, Irob district, Tigray region, Ethiopia, eight duly furnished classrooms, relevant latrines, a kindergarten, and fencing for the 600 children’s security.
Many children were obliged to walk for hours to reach their homes; therefore, filling their small bottles with potable water is an extreme need.
Last February 10th 2024, we could finally open a water well inside the school compound for the students. The financing of this project has been secured by Renato and Daniela Collodoro, owners of RISTO’ “Trattoria del buon mangiare”, based in Torino, through their charity dinners and by the Associazione Volontari l’Accoglienza.
