In April 2024, Almaquin Enterprises collaborated with Asmahan Rabo of Needs4Water, co-developed and launched the initial WASH survey at the Oromia Region Primary School in Ethiopia.

This pioneering effort is part of a larger project aimed at evaluating and improving water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure across 25 schools in five Ethiopian regions: Addis Ababa, Oromia, Somali, Southwest Ethiopia, and South Ethiopia.

The surveys assess critical components such as water quality, sanitation facilities and hygiene promotion. By focusing on these areas, the project seeks to identify gaps and provide actionable recommendations to ensure a safe and healthy learning environment for students.
