Access to clean water, improved sanitation, and hygiene education is vital for the well-being of Somali communities, especially in rural areas. SORDES’s WASH initiatives address water scarcity and poor sanitation to reduce waterborne diseases and enhance overall health. These programs are essential in regions where infrastructure is limited, and water-related challenges are acute.

To improve water access, SORDES constructs and rehabilitates wells, boreholes, and solar-powered water systems, providing sustainable solutions for clean drinking water. Rainwater harvesting systems are also installed in areas where groundwater is scarce, ensuring communities have reliable water sources during dry seasons.

Sanitation infrastructure, such as latrines and waste management systems, is a key focus. By promoting hygienic practices and building facilities in schools, health centers, and public areas, SORDES reduces the prevalence of open defecation and its associated health risks. Hygiene education campaigns further empower communities with knowledge about disease prevention, safe water use, and waste disposal.

Looking ahead, SORDES aims to expand WASH services to underserved areas and strengthen resilience to climate change through innovative water and sanitation projects. By prioritizing these efforts, SORDES significantly improves health outcomes and fosters long-term sustainability for vulnerable populations.
