Athar Isack Abdullahi who is 35 years old, is a mother of six children. She and her family continue to benefit from the clean and safe access to water that is provided by our project. She fled her home and moved to section 6 of Belet Xaawo district of Gedo region due recent attacks that were faced. Currently,she feels comfortable and at home than before. Feeling happy was all she said after getting water at affordable price and just near her than going for long distance to quench her thirst. Before the construction of communal water kiosk she used to get water from reservoir (barkets) which is private property and very expensive as most of people can’t afford to purchase the water. With the kiosk construction which was implemented by ASEP and funded by Archenova there has been the reduction of water borne diseases such as Bilharzia that normally occurs due to exposure to the contaminated water from reservoir. She is very appreciative to ASEP, ARCHENOVA without forgetting the public private partnership (PPP) system for giving wonderful assistance to people since water is life. Shukran.
