Emergency water distribution in dire needed Somali Community Large-scale disasters often disrupt water supplies, especially in the world's most vulnerable and conflict-ridden communities where resources are already strained or scarce. Strong storms and flooding can contaminate local water sources, increasing exposure to water borne illnesses such as cholera and diarrhea, while conflicts can force displaced people into overcrowded cities or refugee camps, straining existing resources and increasing the risk of disease outbreaks.

Project Results

After an emergency, Somali Youth Development Foundation (SYDF) provides access to clean water through the distribution of urgently-needed supplies, including water purification tablets, hygiene kits, and storage containers like jerry cans, DayOne Response Waterbags and buckets. To help rebuild infrastructure, teams build latrines and hand washing stations. Further, to ensure that families can stay healthy until clean water sources are restored, teams deliver hygiene education campaigns to survivors.
