Innovative new cross-tribe initiative
February 1, 2013, GTLI started working with Hamar’s neighboring tribe, Bena, who live in Benatsemay woreda directly adjacent to Hamar woreda in South Omo Zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia. And, Hamar community leaders are facilitating the learning process for this neighboring tribe!
Thanks to the generosity of Boeing Global Corporate Citizenship, Rotary Club of Duluth MN, Nor’Wester Rotary Club of Port Angeles WA and Rotary Club of Southington CT – 5,000 Bena tribe members will have access to clean water and will learn healthy hygiene and sanitation behavior taught and modeled by Hamar tribe early adopters . In addition to the refurbishment of five non-functioning water wells in Benatsemay woreda, 540 households in Hamar woreda will receive water filtration systems by June 30, 2013.
Please note: funding for this initiative is $11,700 short so any and all contributions will be greatly appreciated!
