Sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene assistance to vulnerable populations affected by the conflict in the Lahj Governorate
More than seven years of conflict have devastated people’s lives in Yemen. Years of destructive conflict have damaged or destroyed an already poor infrastructure, and left basic services almost non- functional, from schools, hospitals and clinics, to the water or sewage networks, and electricity networks. The situation in Lahj governorate is worrying and vulnerable communities are the hardest hit, as humanitarian assistance is the main source of living for the population. Access to water is problematic in the majority of areas, due to water systems damaged as a consequence of conflict. Moreover, water access and hygiene conditions in schools are very poor.
Therefore, PIN contributes to water, sanitation and hygiene needs of conflict affected population in Lajh Governorate, Al Hawta and Radfan district. The project constructs boreholes with a solar powered pumping system, installs adequate distribution network and water points to ensure access to safe water and healthier living environment in the particular areas. Selected schools are supported by rehabilitation of new permanent school latrines and hand washing stations for students and school staff, that help to reduce the health risks they are exposed. PIN also carry out the public health and hygiene awareness raising campaigns, enhance good hygiene practices and distribute the hygiene kits (including f.e. toothbrush, sanitary napkins, soap).
