Our local implementing partner, Relief Society of Tigray (REST), is working everyday to help bring clean water to communities.Meet Daniel Hagos, Director of Rural Water Supply at REST.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Daniel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Daniel has spent almost 21 years working for REST. He\u2019s from Tigray and leads a staff of over 200 employees that work on constructing our water projects. That includes five drilling teams and 150 hand dug well and spring protection technicians.Our team asked Daniel what keeps him passionate about his job. Why not work for a large, for-profit company in Addis Abada instead?<\/p>\n

His response?<\/p>\n

All of us at REST, we\u2019re committed to our people here in Tigray. All of us lost family and friends during the war – and watched the famine deteriorate our livelihoods. I\u2019m here to continue to serve my people.<\/i><\/p>\n

You can learn more about Daniel and REST\u2019s work in Ethiopia through our video series called\u00a0The Journey.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to report back next year and show you the impact your campaign made for those in need!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
