Communities in Dembelo and Chirecha Got
historically faced critical challenges due to a lack of safe water access. This
not only resulted in a high prevalence of waterborne diseases but also required
residents to spend excessive time collecting water. To address this, TWA
implemented a clean water project serving 3,202 people in Katila Village,
Dembelo Got. The project achieved its core objectives: it eliminated the
community’s dependence on unsafe river water and drastically reduced the water
fetching distance for beneficiaries from 18 km to 2 km.
