A Drop of Water

Water is life. This is too obvious. Polluted water, however, has a reverse effect. So in order to protect women and children from the risks of contaminated water and spare them the tiresome burden of bringing water from remote places, the SSSD team, in cooperation with UNHCR, implemented a community-based initiative at the village of Bab al-Kheir in the southern countryside of al-Hasakeh Governorate.
A group of men and youngsters from the local community engaged in manufacturing galvanized iron water tanks and distributed them on the village’s neediest HHs. Henceforward, a tank truck ensures regular water trucking and clean drinking water is stored in household tanks instead of unsafe, insufficient plastic jerry cans.
The CBI was concluded on June 5, 2017, benefiting 94 people.
