As part of the “Donate the Water” scheme, which has been made possible through the partnership established between Butterfly Charity Foundation and ADCS, ( 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 the recent severe drought, the worst since over the last 60 years.
A water well has recently been rehabilitated in the village of MERAKUT, at Tsaeda Emba district in the Tigray region, Ethiopia. The official opening took place on April 30th 2017.
This project has been funded by Messrs. SACCO and consists of the rehabilitation of old dry water well. New extended pipes to reach an adequate depth, a brand new pump, fencing and training of the Water and Sanitation committee have been secured as well in accordance with running practice.
The beneficiaries of this water well, finally securing potable water to the people living in the village, are 220, without considering the people living in the nearby area who will benefit as well from this project.
Special thanks to the parents of Andrea for their donation
