As part of the “Donate the Water” scheme, which has been made possible through the partnership established among Butterfly Charity Foundation, its technical local partner ECC-SDCOAd and the charity association Volontari l’Accoglienza based in Caselle (TO), a water well has been drilled in the village of MUGULAT, Agerelekoma district, Tigray Region, Ethiopia and officially opened on November 9th 2019.
The total number of beneficiaries is in the range of some 300 individuals not counting the people living in the nearby villages who will access the clean water as well.
A hand-operated pump and pipes have been installed in order to reach the depth of 72 metres, far below the aquifer level. Due fencing has been erected as well to protect the well.
A Water & Sanitation committee has been established in accordance with the common practise in order to guarantee due maintenance and operation of the well.
