Water Cisterns

Many districts in the Hajja Governorate have no running water, no electricity, no phones and cannot be accessed by car. Together with local NGOs, we have restored hundreds of rainwater systems over the last couple of years . Currently, we are working with Youth For Homeland, a Yemeni NGO, on re-building twelve water cisterns in Hajja. Around 600 families benefit from the restored source of water and sustainability is key.

This is not a momentary water solution but one that will benefit the community long term. Through the provided training, they are able to maintain the cisterns independently. Our Integrated Water Resource Management project is funded by the BMZ and has a volume of 555.555 Euro. Between June 2016 and April 2017 we will be working on improving and sustaining water resources in Yemen.
