As part of the “Donate Water” scheme, which has been made possible through the partnership established between Butterfly Charity Foundation and ECC-SDOAd-B, (Catholic Association of Adigrat), several projects water-related, are presently under progress in the Tigray region, North of the country at the border with Eritrea. The above, following to the recent severe drought, the worst since over the last years.
A water well, completely dry for several years, has been officially opened on November 8th 2019 at the village of HUTSA, in the Tigray region, Ethiopia. The well has been rehabilitated thanks to the funds made available by Angela Biavati & Alessandro Rapalli who dedicated this project to the memory of Wendy, who recently passed away.
New extended pipes to reach 69 metres depth, a brand new, hand-operated pump, fencing and training of the Water and Sanitation Committee, have been duly implemented in accordance with running practice.
The number of beneficiaries of this project is in the range of 700 people who will finally have access to potable water after a long time.
“Wendy, You were like freshwater. We’ll never forget you!
