Astariyo Konter Solar Water Pumping System

Astariyo Konter Solar Water Pumping System — Amhara Region

In Astariyo Konter, Benedeto contributed to a high-capacity solar water pumping system designed to solve one of the most essential infrastructure needs: reliable water access. The project combines solar power with backup generation to keep water moving even when conditions are challenging.

The system supports uninterrupted water access for 7,000 people, serving approximately 1,400 households, while also improving clean water availability for Astariyo Health Center, which serves around 80 patients per day.

Project Focus: Solar water pumping, hybrid power support, public health, community water access, rural resilience.
