project aims at providing emergency life-saving  WASH services to the most
vulnerable 12000 persons (4992 women, 4608 men, 1200 boys and 1200 girls including PWDs)
particularly rural communities and drought displaced persons including those
with disabilities and the elderly in Jowhar District, Middle Shabelle
Region Somalia that has been seriously affected by impacts of current
devastating drought that has compromised existing limited WASH
infrastructures and services thus impacting to water availability and
quality and exposing the vulnerable populations to dangers of an
outbreak of AWD/cholera and other sanitation and hygiene-related diseases. The
situation is exacerbated by the likelihood of below average Gu rains (
April - June) according to current weather forecasts that would impact to
unprecedented sixth consecutive below average rainfall that will prolong
extreme drought conditions and impact further to water crisis situation in
2023. Of particular concern are the increasing number of drought and conflict displaced
populations particularly those affected by community and Government-backed
offensive against Alshabab Insurgent group in parts of Hirshabelle and Galmudug
state thus overstretching existing water services and compromising
available sanitation facilities besides worsening the environmental
sanitation conditions. lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgt
