One project at a time

  • More than 1 in 8 people in the world don't have access to safe drinking water.
  • 1 out of every 5 deaths under the age of 5 worldwide is due to a water-related disease.
  • Nearly 80% of illness in developing countries is linked to poor water and sanitation conditions.
  •  Clean water doesn't just save lives, it changes them... forever

Children and water

Safe water and sanitation are vital for keeping children fit and healthy for school.

Lets be real and address one project at a time. This is a good opportunity to participate in actual problem solving.

Oh Ballard!!!

Now Grumus Kidane is our contact at Ballard Care and Rehab.He has Brochures and has started collecting donations. Very kind hearted. By the way he has a child that he is helping in some other African country. I was so amazed how much he has taken it serious. He told me "this is not to boast but I will be more than happy to hear or see at least one poor child's life changed. Be it getting clean water, good education or better health. I am so sorry  that I did not do anything upto now. I will be fully volunter for this noble action." He has collected reasonable amount of money and is going to talk everyone. He is trying to form a clean water  group. Already approached individuals to help the water project happen. Please, join me in thanking Grumus Kidane, my coworker and appreciate  all Balarad Care and Rehab Employees for their donation and encouragement of Wogen  to make the water project real.

All is Going Well

Most of the people who pledged to Wogen's project are paying. We are reaching more members and have dispatched Amharic version of our brochure to help our friends who speak only Amharic to understand  better what we are doing and where we are. We have new connection in Israel. There are promisory notes from friends and members. Wogen Ethiopia has requested us to deposite the first payment around the end of October to purchase necessary materials to begin the construction in mid November. We are also on the process of applying to some foundations. Bear with us and help us to fulfill the required amount if possible by the end of October. We are at 30% of what we need.
Thank you All
