 A4Store project of Mekelle University maintained damaged Solar Pumps donated by its predecessor A4Labs project
The Arid African Alluvial Aquifers Labs Securing Water for Development (A4Labs) project, funded by DUPC (The Netherlands), donated 8 SunFlower solar pumps in 2019 and 2022 to the farmers of Mai Gobo Sand Dam irrigation scheme, Hawzein Wereda.
When a new successor project entitled “Smallholder farming families Adapt African Alluvial Aquifers to Strengthen Their Own Resilience (A4Store) project” was launched on 09 March 2024 in Hawzein, 4 of the solar pumps were found non-functional due to the war and subsequent lack of follow up. The A4Store project technical team have maintained the 4 solar pumps and returned them to the famers last week and are now all back to action.
