Akako Deep Water Well Update

August 2015 is a memorable month for all of the villagers in and surrounding Akako, Ethiopia!!

 ENA’s Akako deep water well is the first clean water source these villagers have ever had. This deep well is now providing water to 10,000 people with three completed watering stations. A reservoir holds water for the three generator houses, which pumps water to the three stations.  A large water trough for their livestock was also completed.

Clean water will have a major impact on their health, education and overall well-being. Prior to our deep well being built, much of the villagers’ day was spent traveling to a water source and transporting dirty water back to their homes. With the new well in place, mothers and fathers will have more time for farming and harvesting and the children will have more time for school.

Water is one of the key sources of health. Therefore, ENA has future deep water wells projects that have already begun. To donate to one of these projects or learn more about our clean water initiative, visit our website here.
