Under the Climate-Resilient WASH and Livelihoods Package for Resilient Somali Landscapes project, the @CPD_Africa (CPD) rehabilitated the Bilcile borehole in the Dhusamareb District, Galgadud Region of the Galmudug State of Somalia.

The rehabilitation involved the construction of a 60m³ elevated water storage tank, the installation of a solar system (36 solar panels with 565 watts), and the construction of two animal troughs (camel and goat troughs). Additionally, the water project encouraged local communities to venture into farming.

The borehole currently serves over 5,400 people from drought-affected communities and hosts tens of thousands of livestock.

The project is implemented by @CPD_Africa with funding support from @BMZ through @Welthungerhilfe (WHH).

Galbedo lost her livelihood due to the #droughtinSomalia. She now owns a small business in a settlement camp & earns a profit.

With the cash transfer from a local partner supported by @shf_somalia, she could repay her debts & provide for her children.
