Amina, an elderly widow who lives in the area of the first project, tells what she experienced.
The first time we tried to get water from the government was during the time of Emperor Haile Selassie, who was harassed by a 'epidemic of cholera. Unfortunately we weren't lucky and getting it clean water it remained a distant mirage. We kept asking successive governments for it, but without success.
When another epidemic arrived, I personally went to the provincial government seat. To accompany me, a group of the community. Once in front of the authorities, I shouted, “This is the second time we have suffered from serious illnesses, if it happens again I don't know how many of us would make it ... you have to save our lives! "
