WE HAVE AN UPDATE ON YOUR CAMPAIGN |
|

|
You joined mycharity: water to bring clean, safe drinking water to Ethiopia. We want to update you on the work in progress! |

|
REMIND ME, WHERE ARE THE PROJECTS IN ETHIOPIA? |
|
The projects you helped fund are in the northern most part of Ethiopia. More than 5 million people live in Tigray but only 54% of the population has access to clean, safe drinking water. Thanks to your help, we’re working to change that! |

WHO'S MAKING IT HAPPEN? |
|
|
Our local implementing partner, Relief Society of Tigray (REST), is working everyday to help bring clean water to communities.
Meet Daniel Hagos, Director of Rural Water Supply at REST. |
|
|
|
Daniel has spent almost 21 years working for REST. He’s from Tigray and leads a staff of over 200 employees that work on constructing our water projects. That includes five drilling teams and 150 hand dug well and spring protection technicians.
Our team asked Daniel what keeps him passionate about his job. Why not work for a large, for-profit company in Addis Ababa instead?
His response?
All of us at REST, we’re committed to our people here in Tigray. All of us lost family and friends during the war - and watched the famine deteriorate our livelihoods. I’m here to continue to serve my people.
You can learn more about Daniel and REST’s work in Ethiopia through our video series called The Journey. |
