ABOUT THE PROJECT

The story behind the project

The company Stor, S.L., through its Quokka brand, teamed up with Fundación ADS for a second time to drill a safe water well with a hand pump in a rural community in Muketuri. The agreement was signed in September 2021 and the well was drilled in 2022.

As in earlier projects, we set up a Water Committee made up mostly of women from the community. The committee runs, maintains and cleans the well, and manages a fund for basic maintenance and to pay the person who looks after it.

Women fill their jerrycans at the well, with donkeys to carry the water. Muketuri (Oromia, Ethiopia).
