Ethiopia Project.
Hospital Leach Field Project
Location: Sodo (ሶዶ), Ethiopia
The Jeffcoach Family (Visalia Natives) moved to Addis Abab, Ethiopia to run a surgery program at a local hospital in the area. This past year they have asked for support in a special project that would benefit the community of Sodo, Ethiopia.
When the hospital was constructed, it was built over a leach field (otherwise known as a septic drain field). Since the hospital sees a high volume of patients and particularly kids, the leach field has become a major problem, prohibiting kids from playing in the area due to the unsanitary septic water.
The Jeffcoach Family are asking for help so as a family of companies, we are excited about this opportunity to have a global impact, and we need your help.
