Build a Water Well in Yemen

by INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND RELIEF FOUNDATION

The Situation
Yemen’s government, crippled by its weakness and corruption, has not been able to effectively address their water crisis. With poor hygiene conditions and a lack of necessary equipment, health institutions in Yemen have been overwhelmed by Cholera and Polio outbreaks.

Children account for 32% of Cholera cases in Yemen.
The outbreak is a direct result of a lack of access to safe drinking water and inadequate water sources and infrastructure in camps predominantly populated by Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

Studies reveal that water scarcity acts as a security threat in regions characterized by rising population, social and political tensions, as well as ineffective and unaccountable state institutions – such as in Yemen.

How you can help?
IDRF, in partnership with local communities, is addressing these ongoing issues by building motor water wells.
