Clean drinking water – now!

We are currently seeking for funding for the drinking water supply in Saware.
The project includes spring capping, filtration, a reservoir, a pump and a distribution network. To ensure a holistic and sustainable approach, the community is involved from the very beginning and will also help with the construction.  As part of the project, a local water consortium will be established in the village, training courses will be held and proper maintenance of the drinking water system will be ensured.

For preparation, we have already conducted a study on the best option for accessing safe drinking water within the village, with the support of experts from the Water Department of Arba Minch University.
