Dr. Wold Zemedkun grew up in rural Ethiopia without access to clean water. After losing two brothers from problems related to unsafe water, he knew that he had to make a change. In 2009, he told his children that he had saved $10,000 to dig a well in his home village—and thus, Tesfa International was born. Dr. Zemedkun’s work began in his village and has spread to communities in need throughout the country.
