Field Notes

Thanks to our local partner The International Rescue Committee, support from the surrounding community, and your generosity, 609 people in Ethiopia have access to clean and safe water!

You helped fund a piped system tap stand for a Community in Ethiopia, implemented by our local partner The International Rescue Committee. We rely on the expertise of local partners like The International Rescue Committee to choose the best solution for each unique situation. In this case, The International Rescue Committee’s thorough understanding of how to implement effective, sustainable water projects in their area led them to choose a piped system tap stand.

A piped system uses energy to distribute water through a network of pipes. Typically sourced from a spring or protected well, water is piped to a storage tank either by gravity or with a mechanized pump. From the storage tank, the water flows through the piped system to tap stands below.

Along with implementing water projects, our local partners also facilitate sanitation and hygiene initiatives to help promote everyone’s long-term health. These initiatives are often championed by community members themselves, who work hard to create positive change within their Community.

Clean water means education, income, and health—especially for women and girls. It truly changes everything. Thank you for funding clean water and transforming futures for 609 people in Ethiopia!

The remainder of the cost of this project was funded by individual donations for a total of $1,164.31
