Water Project Update: January 2010

Water pipes have now be laid to the Bataliya community, which lies just north of Humsa, near Hamra village. The community were able to lay the pipes, despite being just 400m from Al Hamra checkpoint. This will have a massive impact: the Bataliya community used to pay 30 shekels per cubic meter of water - they now have to pay just 1 shekel.

It is hoped that the next villages to received running water will be Al Hadidiya and Ras Ar Ahmar. Then there are future plans for Al Farisiya and Al Hamra villages.

Jordan Valley Solidarity are appealing for international support for the project.

In Brighton we have successfully raised £1,500, and hope to raise another £3,500 by t end of February.
