April-June
Shabwah & Ad Dali’,
In a concerted effort to combat the spread of water-borne diseases such as cholera, the Yemen Family Care Association (YFCA) has intensified its efforts to protect and preserve the country’s vital water resources. Cholera, which has claimed numerous lives, particularly among women and children, remains a significant threat in Yemen.
In collaboration with the General Authority for Rural Water and Sanitation Project (GARWASP), the National Water Sanitation Authority (NWSA), and local health offices in Shabwah and Ad Dali’ Governorates, YFCA conducted comprehensive water quality tests over three consecutive months—April, May, and June 2024. The tests aimed to evaluate the physical, chemical, and biological quality of water and recommend appropriate treatment methods.
This initiative is part of the ongoing Multi-sectoral Emergency Response project, which supports internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other vulnerable groups in Ad Dali’ and Shabwah. The project is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (AA) in partnership with Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH).
These tests, carried out at the household level by Water Quality Monitors (WQMs), involved measuring Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (E.C), pH levels, Free Residual Chlorine (FRC), salinity, and temperature. Water samples were collected from various community water sources within the targeted districts and analyzed in YFCA’s laboratories in Ad Dali’ and Shabwah.
The primary objectives of this activity include:
• Ensuring access to safe drinking water for residents in the targeted districts.
• Raising community awareness about the importance of using clean water, proper methods of water transportation and storage, water purification and sterilization, and avoiding harmful practices.
• Contributing to the reduction of water-related epidemics and diseases.
Through these efforts, YFCA aims to safeguard the health of Yemeni communities and mitigate the devastating impact of water-borne diseases.
