WaterAid
Last year we raised around £3,500 for WaterAid. It has the twin aims of providing clean fresh water and hygenic waste disposal for people whose lives are otherwise under constant threat from water-bourne disease.
What have we made possible? It is an amazing list of help to slum dwellers in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, providing:
- two small reservoirs feeding four water points, serving 6,000 people;
- seven communal pit latrines;
- provision of suction truck services to reduce spillage of liquid waste;
- waste water recycling to improve the environment through backyard gardening;
- hygiene promotion for 6,000 people;
- dry waste disposal collection and dumping facilities
Our efforts have brought a new standard of living and health and new hope to a population the size of our own four villages, which is a tremendous achievement. We thank everyone who contributed to last year's project, and supported our fund-raising efforts.
