What is the Problem? Less than 29% of
Somalia’s population use an up-to-date water supply
Only 29% of the country’s water is safe to drink
25% of the population has access to sanitation
As of January 2010, 3.2 million Somalis are in need of emergency care
Berkad filled with unsanitary drinking water

Current Means of Getting Water (Usually Not Potable)
Carrying plastic tubs to rivers/streams, sometimes 40 Km away
Trucking in drums of water
Hand-dug wells
Berkads
Children carrying plastic tubs to get water

Lack of Water due to Social Issues Somali civil war
December 2006 – January 2009
Somali Transitional Federal Government vs. armed militias
Aftermath
Lack of care to existing water resources (no central government)
Water supply looting
Somali pirate ship (used for looting)

Repercussions of Unsafe Water
Cholera
Dehydration
Diarrheal disease
Malnutrition
Hepatitis A/E

Monetary Comparison
One drum of clean water (200 Liters) costs a Somali person 500,000 shillings
This is three days’ wage
500,000 Somali shillings = only 19 U.S. dollars
