The well in Hadish Hiwot, whose construction was financed by the Becatti family in memory of their son Andrea, who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident, was unveiled on 26th February 2009, in the tabia of Hadish Hiwot, in the woreda of Sasietsaedaemba, 18 km south of the centre of Adigrat, Tigray Region, Ethiopia.
The well, which is operated by a hand pump and enclosed by a fence, was drilled to a depth of 40 metres and will serve the village of Hidash Hiwot, which has 125 family units, approximately 625 inhabitants.
The unveiling ceremony was very emotional and took place in front of the entire village, who shared in the tears of these wonderful parents.”
