The Law Office of Rajeh A. Saadeh, L.L.C. is proud to sponsor the construction of a well in the Labad village in the Hobyo region of Somalia!
The well construction is part of the safe water project. The well is a protected water source and has resulted in the following:
- Improved access to safe and adequate water that meets the distinct needs of people in emergency-affected communities.
- Available water has increased from 5 liters per person per day to 20 liters. The well now benefits at least 5,500 households.
- Community members now walk less than 1 kilometer to their water source, relieving people, usually women and girls, of the extreme difficulty of fetching water.
- The construction process created temporary employment for youths, enabling them to make money and gain construction experience.
- Through training, this safe water supply project has also resulted in increased awareness on preventing water contamination, good water treatment, storage practices, and hygiene practices.
