Hopeful River Project at Barcamp 2016
June 18, 2016
Our presentation at the Barcamp 2016 highlighted key aspects of the project's vision and mission. The presentation also noted the past successes and future events set out in 2016.
A key outcome was the incorporation of two new and motivated volunteers to the positions of IT and Fundraising Volunteer respectively. We're excited about these new additions to the team!

Scaling up operations in order to implement the Project's stratrgies were put into motion with the selection of the fifth sampling point along the river. The pilot exercise will focus on urban farming irrigation in Addis Ababa. Currently, farmers use contaminated water to irrigate their farms, however with the implementation of this phase, the Hopeful river project team intend to provide sustainable alternatives.
