The administrative district of Hajjah in the west of the country is one of the regions of the country particularly affected by cholera. Many internally displaced persons also take refuge there in search of protection. The Al-Malakha camp in the district of Abs has taken in a particularly large number of people in recent years, but cholera figures are also very high there due to the precarious living conditions. This makes it all the more important to improve hygiene care in the project region.
Together with the aid organisation Abs Development for Woman and Child Organisation, ADO for short, we care for new arrivals in the camps. We set up a latrine for each family. In this way the sanitary supply is permanently ensured. 300 displaced households benefit from this aid. This corresponds to around 3,750 people.
In the districts of Abs and Khairan Al-Moharraq, 1,000 families are supported by the new latrines. In addition, 30 volunteers are being trained in hygiene promotion. In future, they will pass on their newly acquired knowledge to the communities and conduct awareness raising events.
With your help we can provide more people in need with live saving actions. As one of few NPO's we are in Yemen through our partners on site.
