Debark is a woreda (local government area) in northern Ethiopia, located around 2850 metres above sea level. It is the closest township to the Simien Mountain National Park. Surrounding Debark, the largest township in the region, is a series of smaller villages and towns. Catherine and Yalew have toured this region extensively, and built strong relationships with the local government. Through partnerships and engaging with local groups, Water for a Village has installed 26 water sources across the region.
