Water Well
Water touches every aspect of life, and in Somalia uncertainty over access to and the availability of this basic resource may be reaching crisis levels. The World Health Organization estimates that millions of Somalis are lack access to safe water today.
About 21% of communicable diseases in Somalia are related to unsafe water. The government is working on the issue but it cannot resolve this problem alone.
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) too need to pitch in if we want to protect their life and also the economy and growth of the country.
That’s exactly why the Green Hope started to implement to dig 6 bore holes that provide a drinking water in some areas.
This gives people living in these rural areas more time, freedom and incentive to help their families grow to be healthy and productive members of the community.
Improved access to clean and sustainable water and resilience of water resources in order to contribute to reduce poverty, and enhanced productivity.
Access to clean water can prevent common avoidable illnesses such as cholera and similar water-born disease that may cause deaths in some parts of regions. Access to a clean water is a serious public health issue in Central Somalia. The rural community need clean water just not water.
This year 2021 Green Hope implemented 6 new shallow borehole wells by excavating the ground and installing manual-pumps in different districts in Baydaba in Bay region.

Disability
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) on May 2011: people with disabilities make up at least 10% of the population.
There is no or little data on persons with disabilities in Somalia, but we see every day different categories of disabilities, Women with disabilities, children with disabilities, and elderly people with disabilities.
Green Hope and many other organizations do not have data or information available on persons with disabilities in Somalia.
