My Story…
Raising money for a community of Merawi Town in Ethiopia, where clean energy means clean water.
Merawi Town in the Amhara region of Ethiopia has 100,000 residents - and clean water only for 25,000 of them. With your support, access to clean water in Merawi Town can double this year.
Your financial support will help our partners in Ethiopia retrofit Merawi Town’s two existing wells by adding a solar power source - taking advantage of Ethiopia’s abundant sunshine to stabilize pumping - and they’ll dig a new well, and solarize that one, too.
Description
Join Me in Bringing Clean Water to Merawi, Ethiopia!
This year, Run For Water has set a goal to raise $300K to address the critical water shortage in Merawi, Ethiopia. Right now, 77,237 people in Merawi still lack access to clean, safe water, relying on unsafe sources that jeopardize their health.
With your support, we can help the Merawi community install solar-powered water pumps and rehabilitate existing wells, increasing access to reliable water. These improvements will drastically shorten the journey for many—from 52 minutes to just 10 minutes—bringing life-changing benefits to thousands, especially women and children.
I’m committed to this cause, and I need your help. Will you join me in supporting this project and help bring lasting change to Merawi?
