2. Project Background
Access to safe and adequate water remains one of the most critical challenges facing communities in Dararweyne and surrounding areas. The available groundwater sources are highly saline and unsuitable for human consumption without treatment. Recurrent droughts, increasing water demand, environmental degradation, and inadequate water infrastructure have further exacerbated water scarcity, negatively affecting public health, livelihoods, and the resilience of local communities.
The lack of reliable access to safe drinking water forces households to depend on expensive water trucking services or unsafe water sources, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases and placing a significant burden on vulnerable groups, particularly women, children, elderly persons, and people with disabilities. Limited water availability also affects livestock production, household sanitation, and overall socio-economic development.
To address these challenges, Taakulo Somali Community (TASCO), in partnership with SOS through SOMJR 26 project, will implement the Construction of the Dararweyne Water Storage and Desalination System Project. The project aims to establish a sustainable water supply system through the construction and installation of a modern desalination plant, water storage infrastructure, solar-powered energy systems, distribution pipelines, and community water access points (Smart ATMs) and ordinary water kiosks.
