Context analyses

The protracted humanitarian crisis in Diinsoor is multi-layered and complex. Limited development coupled with recurring climatic shocks, such as the persistent La Nino impact and the preceded drought, and flash floods give rise to high levels of need among affected populations. According to the Somalia WASH Cluster, Diinsoor is classified among districts facing severe to extreme WASH stress, with traditional sources such as shallow wells and berkads frequently drying out. OCHA reports that over 19,800 cases of acute watery diarrhea/cholera occurred in 2024. The WASH Cluster estimates that lifesaving sanitation services in Diinsoor are reaching only a fraction of those in need, driving significant public health risks. National reports note that approximately 6.6 million people across Somalia face water shortages, In a preliminary assessment conducted by WARDO – during the period of work with SHF in Diinsoor, WARDO came to know that these recurring adverse events had scaled up further mile in the inaccessibility of safe and potable water due to the exposure and vulnerability of the local community, it furthermore brought poor hygiene and sanitation in the overcrowded areas, malnutrition and improper health services and facilities, the La Nino impact is very alarming and persistent, and preceding El Nino floods increased people exposure to all forms of natural disasters.

Activity description

Water point rehabilitation WARDO plans to rehabilitate two (2) publicly owned shallow wells and install hand pumps in Diinsoor District, aiming to restore access to safe water for approximately 1,000 individuals (including 200 men, 400 women, 100 boys, and 100 girls). This intervention is designed to improve water quality and water yield for vulnerable populations in the area. The rehabilitation activities will include desilting to recover lost depth, constructing a protective concrete apron, raising the well mouth by 0.8 meters above ground level to prevent surface contamination, and installing a secure well mouth cover. Afridev hand pump will be installed to facilitate safe and user-friendly water extraction. Additional technical works will involve dewatering, disinfection through shock chlorination, and pump testing to ensure the functionality and safety of the water supply. All rehabilitation efforts will be carried out in close consultation with community members, including representatives of people with disabilities, to ensure that specific needs are considered in the design and implementation phases. The rehabilitation is scheduled to begin once water levels recede, which is anticipated to occur during the dry season from December to March
