Humanitarian aid, electricity and water supply, internet and bank services were cut during the war. Over 120,000 women and girls have been abused, and 1,700,000 students have not been able to attend school for three years. On 3 November 2022, a peace agreement was signed in Pretoria between the Ethiopian Government and TPLF (Tigray People’s Liberation Front) following a war that lasted two years. However, the situation in the Region is still rather complicated due to not having completely withdrawn the Eritrean soldiers.
After almost two years, all market prices have more than doubled, and people cannot afford basic life requirements. Most hospitals have been destroyed or looted; no medical care can be adequately assured today. All of the above is under the complete silence of the International media since the wars in Africa have no specific attention where there is no economic interest.
The Butterfly Foundation intends to support these individuals in accordance with the priorities for water wells as indicated by our local partners.
We are willing to rehabilitate these water wells in the Tigray Region as soon as possible. A donation of €. 4.800 will allow the complete rehabilitation of a dry or damaged water well, and approximately 500 people will have access to potable water near their villages. Due to the dire situation of the people, the following is a priority list of water wells that need urgent rehabilitation.
