Water for Tigray: Reconstruction after the war
The war that raged in northern Ethiopia from 2020 to 2022 has massively exacerbated the difficult living conditions of the population in Tigray: around 3.5 million people had no access to clean drinking water at times.
In the new and largest project in its 25-year history, the Waterfoundation, together with its cooperation partner well:fair foundation, will work until 2027 to restore 600 destroyed water points in 50 affected communities, establish and train WASH committees, and provide broad-based hygiene training.
Together with local authorities and our local partner, the Relief Society of Tigray (REST), we are securing a sustainable water supply and strengthening community-based structures – so that around 200,000 people can once again have hope for health and peace.
