Extension of 500 meters of water pipelines for 4 health facilities and construction of 4 water points in Northwestern Tigray, Ethiopia

The initiative to improve the health, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) of internally displaced people and affected host communities is funded by the Canadian government through Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and implemented by International Medical Corps (UK). The project will strive to improve access and utilization of primary healthcare services, to reduce psychological distress and suffering and to improve access to safe water and hygiene practices, among others. To improve the access to safe water and thus to improve hygiene and sanitation practices, this initiative includes the extension of water pipelines for four health facilities, each extension at an average of 500 meters of HDP pipes, for a total of 2000 meters and the construction of 4 water points in Northwestern Tigray.
