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 the recent severe drought, the worst since over the last 30 years.
A water well has been rehabilitated in the village of AGONA, at Tsaeda Emba district in the Tigray region, Ethiopia. This project has been financed by the Butterfly foundation supporters through the action of Daniel through the “Rete del Dono” crowdfunding platform and by Anna Molteni who dedicated this well to her late husband Francesco Buffa, who passed away some time ago, due to a bad road accident.
The well of Agona was not in operation for over two years, therefore all the village people expressed great joy at the opening of the well on June 8th 2018.
New extended pipes to reach an adequate depth, a brand new pump, fencing and training of a Water and Sanitation committee have been secured as well in accordance with running practice.
