Water and Sanitation
SAACID has been active in water and sanitation (WASH) since 1993. Since that time, SAACID has built more than 160 deep well bore holes in central Somalia; and rehabilitated more than 100 other wells in Mogadishu and central Somalia. Below are some of our recent project highlights.
In 2008, SAACID rehabilitated 23 public wells in Mogadishu with CARE; and in 2009, SAACID rehabilitated a further 36 public wells with UN-HABITAT. These wells are free for all to use; and this proivdes significant economic relief for the most marginalised subsisting in Mogadishu City.
SAACID has also delivered in excess of 470,576,690 litres of free fresh water to as many as 140,000 Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in the Afgoye Corridor of Lower Shabelle Region with funding from Oxfam Novib and UNICEF from November 2007 to January 2010.
In partnership with Oxfam Novib, SAACID has developed a pilot deep well bore hole in the Afgoye corridor that has an effecive catchment of ~47,000 people - delivering 9,030,000 litres of freash water per month from February 2009 to 'ongoing'.
In Adale District of Middle Shabelle Region, SAACID has received funds from Medair to rehabilitate 22 wells (completed in June 2009).
In sanitation, SAACID has built 900 emergency latrines from 2007-9, with UNICEF and Oxfam Novib funds. In Adale District, Middle Shabelle Region, SAACID completed 72 Eco latrines in Adale Town and 172 traditional latrines in 11 main villiges within Adale District with Medair funds (ongoing).
