TIGRAY
Our program of construction for 2020 is now underway
We will provide permanent water supplies to 40 villages in Tigray, almost 7000 people.

These areas have been historically seriously affected during drought periods. In the great Ethiopian crisis of 1984-85, many of these villages were deserted as populations moved to displaced camps seeking a means to stay alive. Current community and regional government practices in soil and water conservation and environmental restoration have produced an amazing greening of the countryside. Our support for clean and reliable domestic water supply is a key piece of the survival jigsaw being pieced together.
We will also take the opportunity to rehabilitate wells completed in a previous time but no longer in use because they need a new pump or the well deepened to reach water.
Key to the success of the program is local village involvement.
Villagers are engaged in all aspects of construction, and provide all necessary support to visiting technical staff. The Water and Sanitation and Health Committee (WASHCO) – four women and two men – are trained in all aspects of well maintenance and finances. We are fortunate that over the last two decades this process has become well established and accepted.
We receive no government funding, so the fabulous support of the Australian community, with help from friends in Singapore and the UK, makes all this life-saving work a reality. Thank you!
OROMIA and AMHARA
Our second project area is in southern Ethiopia in the Arsi-Negelle district. Our project for the final report on the 2018 program is available here. We are planning another program in Oromia for 2020 and a third wells program in the Amhara Region.
