ABOUT THE PROJECT
The story behind the project
In February 2025 we restored the water supply in Mechela Andode, a rural community in Wuchale Woreda, in Ethiopia’s Oromia region. Its pumping system had stopped working properly, and the 580 people who live there had limited access to water.
The work included replacing the hand pump system, testing it and training community representatives to use and maintain it. That way, the community stays in charge of its own water.
This work was made possible by the Cádiz Association of Architects (COAC).
