Meksagnit lies south east of Gondar. Its southern border finishes at Lake Tana, home to an enormous array of wildlife including birds and hippos. Being substantially lower than the highland areas in which we have worked, the weather is milder and allows the locals to have two harvests each year of some of their crops. Because of the nature of the terrain, we generally install hand-dug wells in Meksagnit but need to be mindful that hippos sometimes emerge from the lake to feed which is a potential cause of damage.
