Clean Water in St Joseph Mother and Child Centre, Mizan Teferi, Ethiopia

Since its opening in 2006, the Mother and Child Centre of St Joseph of the Mountain in Mizan Teferi, has a manually dug well that offers water for cleaning and watering plants; it also receives a supply of clean water from the town which only arrives for a few hours once a week. Sometimes this supply of water breaks down, having our Mother and Child Center without water for a month. Also, this water has been seen to not be enough for the demand required by 200 children that attend the center daily.
Thanks to the help of the parish of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in Madrid, we have been able to perforate a well of 60 meters of depth inside our center. Also, with the help of the diocese of Rottenburg and a charity race organized by the parish in Madrid, we were able to buy and install the submersible pump with its pipes and water tank, that can store and distribute up to 10,000 liters of water.
Through this project, we are able to improve the health of the community, especially focusing on these 200 children that can now take clean water daily, avoiding many illnesses and parasites that are extremely common in the area.
