In Ethiopia, access to drinking water sources is extremely problematic. It is estimated that, on average, only 27% of the population has access to clean water. From all this derive diseases related to intestinal infections that tend to affect the weakest categories such as children, the elderly and women.
This project is part of ongoing programs aimed at improving access to water supply for rural populations in the eastern area of the Tigray and Afar, regions in the extreme north of Ethiopia that live in a serious state of economic and social crisis. Here agriculture plays a predominant role employing 90% of the population.
During 2018, for the Hera Solidarity project, thanks to the involvement and collaboration of workers, company and customers, we raised 145 thousand euros, of which 15 thousand for Butterfly Onlus. With this important amount, 3 wells were rehabilitated and then inaugurated.
But let's not stop there: the goal for the year 2019 is to collect a useful amount to inaugurate another 4 wells, of which another 4,300 people will benefit.
