14-year-old Gojjam lives in the village of Addis Alem in Jabi Tehnan. She’s responsible for collecting water for her family, which used to mean a 20 minute walk on a slippery road to an unclean spring.
57-year-old Abez has lived in Jabi Tehnan for almost 28 years. After receiving hygiene and sanitation training through our project, she has built a toilet for her and her family.
In collaboration with WaterAid, Project Waterfall have been working in the Jabi Tehnan Woreda (region) in three Kebeles (villages), to provide this coffee-growing community with water, sanitation and hygiene services. After beginning in 2018 and facing challenges due to the COVID pandemic, the project was completed in March 2022. All of the funds from UK Coffee Week 2021 have been used to help fund this amazing project, so we want to say a huge thank you to all of our existing partners!
