Faith in Action

Faith in Action (FIA) successfully launched its new project, “Cultivating Resilience: Empowering Women and Youth for Agro-ecological Transition in Batu Watershed, East Oromia Regional State of Ethiopia,” on December 6, 2025.

The event began with a traditional Blessing Ceremony by the Gadaa Elders, followed by a warm welcoming speech from FIA’s Development Projects Coordinator, Ms. Samket Kebere.

The program then continued with presentations, discussions, and reflections from key stakeholders, all focused on strengthening collaboration, enhancing community resilience, and supporting women and youth through sustainable agro-ecological initiatives. FIA extends heartfelt appreciation to everyone who participated and contributed to the successful launch of this important project.

Project Update: Building Community Capacity for Improved Hygiene in Debark Woreda!

As part of our ongoing Emergency WASH Response for conflict-affected IDPs in Debark Woreda, North Gondar, we successfully conducted a capacity-building training for community volunteers.

The training aimed to empower volunteers to:

✅ Promote safe hygiene practices
✅ Deliver sustained hygiene awareness sessions
✅ Support household-level behavior change
✅ Help prevent the spread of waterborne diseases

These volunteers will now play a key role in reaching communities with life-saving hygiene messages and strengthening local resilience.

We appreciate the commitment and dedication of all volunteers who participated and are ready to serve their communities.

We are proud to share this significant milestone and congratulate the entire team for their unwavering dedication and commitment to improving community access to safe and clean water.

Faith in Action (FIA) has successfully finalized and handed over the Abrjeha Water Expansion System. This system will provide clean water to households and essential services, enhancing daily life and strengthening public health.

We would also like to sincerely thank the woreda administration for their support and partnership, which have been instrumental in making this achievement possible.

Together, we continue working toward healthier, stronger communities.

We’re glad to see the successful distribution of WASH NFI materials to conflict-affected communities. Special thanks to local authorities for their collaboration and support in identifying beneficiaries and ensuring the assistance reached those most in need.
