This live-saving project will provide clean water for 160 families including 800 people from the highly vulnerable marginalized group living in conflict front line areas of Taiz, Yemen. The project aims at improving the access of the marginalized people to clean water for drinking, cooking and personal and domestic hygiene. The project will contribute to reducing outbreak of Cholera and other dirty water-borne diseases that have spread in the targeted area due to inaccessibility to clean water.
The Marginalized group in Yemen have lived in poverty and suffered from discrimination and lacking access to basic services like water, sanitation and education. Due to the conflict escalation and the destruction of water infrastructure, the situation of 800 people living in Bir Basha area of Taiz city has become catastrophic. They lack a clean source of water and this led them to search for non-drinking water sources which caused the spread of cholera, diarrhea and other diseases among them.
The project will provide clean water for 800 marginalized people living in conflict front line areas of Bir Basha, Taiz, Yemen. The clean water will be brought from specialized water treatment stations through water trucking and supplied to 4 public points already existed in the area. The water will be supplied on daily basis for 6 months. This will improve the access to clean water for drinking, cooking and domestic hygiene and contribute to reducing outbreaks of Cholera and other disease.
800 vulnerable people from the marginalized group living in in conflict line area will get benefit from the project and become water secured for a period of 6 months and spread of Cholera and other dirty water-borne diseases will be reduced. That project is in line with and seeks to achieve the Global Goals For Sustainable Development (goal 4), the United Nations General Assembly (Resolution 64/292) and project of Sphere which all recognized the human right to clean water and sanitation.
