Enhancing access to WASH for the most vulnerable population in Ad Durhimi district of Al Hodeida governorate (Pillar 1  2) ltpgtThe Project falls under the Pillar 1  2 of the 2023 1st standard allocation. It targets Ad Durihmi district of Al Hodeida governorate which is a priority district in the strategy. Within the district, it targets 7 underserved villages from 3 sub-districts of Al Hodeida governorate: Jahbah Al Olya sub district (Al Shijn village), Al Magalesah sub-district (Al Ha’aet, Deer Abdullah, Deer Al Khamsen, Al Kazah villages)  Jahbah Al Suflaa sub-district (As Suwlah Al Olya, At Tahseyah villages).ltbrgtlt/pgtltp style="margin-bottom:9.95pt" class="MsoNormal"gtA rapid assessment conducted by LMMPO in July 2023, in the 7 target villages which indicated a high need for WASH interventions. The assessment showed that majority of the HHs living in the villages were fetching water from a distance of 1 – 3 km daily, because the well water systems they were depending on for water supply have stopped operating/functioning due to being damaged or lack of fuel. While a quarter of the households relied on water trucking, in majority of the households, women  children are responsible of fetching water on foot from open wells, farms,  valleys they are at risk of being exposed to GBV, land mines, explosive devices  explosives in the process. Access to safe sanitation was another issue faced by the families accompanied by poor health  hygiene awareness.ltbrgt ltbrgt The overall objective of this project is to enhance protection  alleviate the suffering of people living in the 7 targeted villages in the 3 target sub-districts through providing life-saving WASH response to address the WASH needs of IDPs  host communities living in the target areas through the following main interventions:ltbrgt lt/pgtltp style="margin-left: 0.75in" class="MsoNormal"gt1. ltspan style="line-height: normal"gtRehabilitation, maintenance, and protection of water supply sources via plt/spangtrovision of renewable (solar) energy for 3 existing water systems  extending the water supply networks which will benefit ltbgt1383 HHs lt/bgt(9681 individuals: 2032 men, 2225 women, 2513 boys,  2911 girls).lt/pgtltp style="margin: 9.95pt 0in 0.0001pt 0.75in" class="MsoNormal"gt2.
