A solidarity container en route to Wukro (Ethiopia) to rebuild Tigray

Agricultural machinery, medical equipment and 200 computers are travelling from Mollerussa to reactivate agriculture, healthcare and education in a region devastated by war.

On Friday, February 6, we loaded a truck in Mollerussa bound for Pamplona, where a solidarity container en route to Wukro (Ethiopia) was completed to support the reconstruction of Tigray.

The shipment included agricultural machinery —a tractor, seed drill and cultivator— purchased by the Foundation thanks to the generosity of our donors. This equipment will help launch a genetic improvement project for local cattle aimed at increasing milk production. The initiative, developed together with IPADA (Inclusive Peace and Development Africa), integrates agriculture and livestock farming: improving fodder production is essential to guarantee sufficient, quality feed for cattle. Only in this way can milk production increase sustainably and move communities toward food self-sufficiency.

The truck also transported X-ray and ultrasound equipment for Wukro Hospital, along with nearly 200 operational computers that will restore digital management of patients, staff and medical resources, and strengthen other centres in need of digitalisation. During our visit in April 2025, local authorities stressed the urgent need to replace IT equipment lost during the conflict, which currently forces essential services to operate with manual records.

A project to rebuild from the ground up

In this short video, Miquel Pujol, Vice President of the Foundation, explains the loading of the truck with agricultural machinery and the purpose of the cattle genetic improvement project we are promoting in Tigray. An initiative that integrates agriculture and livestock farming to strengthen local production, move towards food sustainability, and contribute to rebuilding opportunities for families in Wukro.

Every logistical step, every machine loaded and every shared effort is part of the same goal: helping to rebuild the future from the ground up. You can be part of it by making a donation.

Loading of the container in Pamplona

Five days later, on February 11, Ayuda Contenedores completed loading the container, which is now sailing towards Wukro in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Behind every box, every machine and every tool lies a single purpose: contributing to the reconstruction of a community severely affected by war.

The shipment was completed with educational materials, sewing and hairdressing machines, hygiene supplies, hospital and neonatal clothing, wheelchairs, work tools, bicycles and sports equipment for the skating school run by Patinar en Etiopía, which supports hundreds of orphaned children under the coordination of Abba Melaku. Part of the medical and IT equipment will also reinforce interventions in the Jinka area.

With the exception of the agricultural machinery, all materials were donated by companies and institutions from different regions. The loading process, carried out with professionalism and commitment by the volunteers of Ayuda Contenedores, once again showed that what seemed impossible at first glance can become reality through coordination and generosity.

This container does not only carry aid: it carries opportunity, dignity and future.

Video presentation of the solidarity container

During the second part of the XVI Vetllada Solidària Angel Olaran (16th Ángel Olaran Solidarity Evening), held on November 14 at Restaurant Resquitx in Mollerussa, we shared with attendees the new lines of work and development projects we are promoting in Tigray.

At that same event, we publicly presented the solidarity container, which at the time was still in preparation and is now sailing towards Wukro, Tigray (Ethiopia), loaded with essential resources to support the reconstruction of the region.

This video, featuring our president Antoni Reig, captures that moment of announcement and commitment: the determination to continue working alongside the people of Tigray in a context still marked by the consequences of war. What in November was a project in preparation is now a reality on its way to its destination.
