Last year we raised around £3,500 for WaterAid. It has the twin aims of providing clean fresh water and hygenic waste disposal for people whose lives are otherwise under constant threat from water-bourne disease.

What have we made possible? It is an amazing list of help to slum dwellers in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, providing:

  • two small reservoirs feeding four water points, serving 6,000 people;
  • seven communal pit latrines;
  • provision of suction truck services to reduce spillage of liquid waste;
  • waste water recycling to improve the environment through backyard gardening;
  • hygiene promotion for 6,000 people;
  • dry waste disposal collection and dumping facilities

Our efforts have brought a new standard of living and health and new hope to a population the size of our own four villages, which is a tremendous achievement. We thank everyone who contributed to last year's project, and supported our fund-raising efforts.
