A drop of life for primary schools in southern Ethiopia

ADDIS ABABA－Chinese organizations have gifted clean drinking water facilities to select primary schools in drought-hit southern Ethiopia.

The five air-water generators have been donated by the Tsinghua University China-Africa Leadership Development Institute, the HurRain NanoTech team and the China Foundation for Rural Development (formerly China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation), a joint statement said.

Distributed among educational institutions in Southern Nations, Nationalities and People's Region of Ethiopia, namely the Key Afer, Tulungo, Sitimba, Turmi and Demeka primary schools, these machines will provide clean water to about 2,100 students.
