About this project

This project activity is developed by an Italian ONG COOPI in collaboration with Carbonsink. The project includes the creation of water supply systems which will be equipped with solar powered pumps to extract the water from the boreholes in two villages located in Afar region, Ethiopia. The project is addressed to supply safe drinking water for domestic use and consequently to improve the hygiene, social, economic and environmental issues related to the water cycle. Morover, verifiable CO2 emission reductions are achieved through the reduced wood combustion.
