Water projects helping communities develop sustainably in Ethiopia
Public Sanitation
As with the drinking-water wells, the communities take ownership of the new sanitation facilities. Our local qualified staff instruct on good hygiene practice and maintenance. But it is communities who ultimately oversee the running of utilities.

Our primary focus is provision of drinking-water and public sanitation to schools and communities.

Proud Owners of New Wells
Since we began our projects in Ethiopia 18 years ago, The Well in Action (TWA) has installed dozens of modern wells in communities and schools in Tigray an Oromiya Regions. Each community becomes the proud owner of the new facility.
We work with local authorities and communities to identify priority needs. As part of our installation of wells, the community takes responsibility for operation and maintenance. A people’s committee is set up to ensure that each household is distributed with its fair share of fresh-water.
