A strategic, comprehensive approach is required to set up a sustainable water availability system in order to meet the urgent needs of vulnerable populations that are already suffering from other challenges.
Public health in Somalia has been impacted directly (civil unrest and violence) and indirectly (diseases and/or malnutrition) from both man-made and natural disasters, most acutely since the collapse of the central Somali government in 1990. Most susceptible to the constant threat of concurrent droughts, food insecurity and civil unrest have been the most vulnerable in society, namely women, children, old people and people living in poverty. Malnutrition in Somalia is at a crisis level, and it has been projected by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) that over 900,000 children were faced with acute malnourished in 2019, a quarter of them likely to be severely affected.

In most communities, the water quality is compromised by the absence of governance structures at the community level to ensure that the water sources are protected and managed in line with sound water management practices. The government officials also lack knowledge on how to support communities to adopt and stick to good attitudes and practices that impact on the quality of life. From the early stages of Adfaid Foundation’s existence, WASH has represented one of its core programs, designed to alleviate the need of communities through sustainable access to clean and safe water. Adfaid has emphasized investment in sustainable water sources, believing this to be a major solution for the recurrent droughts in Somalia.
