The main objective of the project was to respond to the WASH needs of 7,500 families in 12 communities (Kebeles) of Alicho and Sankura woredas (districts) who have been affected by severe shortage of water caused by the worst drought in 30 years. The project intended to ensure availability of clean and safe drinking water and improve community awareness on hygiene and sanitation through community-based hygiene promotion campaigns. It was expected to improve the health conditions of children, women and the community in the project area through safe use of water. This goal was supposed to be achieved by direct distribution of 7,500 water backpacks to the most vulnerable and isolated families, so they can collect and carry home the safe drinking water from the main distribution points or new boreholes.
Due to severity of the problem, some households, especially those who do not have livestock have started to migrate to urban areas in search of water and food. From a quick assessment carried by Habitat and its implementing partners, it was identified that around 70,000 people are affected by serious water shortage in Siltie Zone’s.
72, 534 people living in 6 rural communities (Kebeles) of 2 districts in the Siltie Zone (SNNPR) were targeted as both direct and indirect beneficiaries. Out of these, 37,500 people were expected to directly benefit from the project while the remaining 35,034 indirectly. The direct beneficiaries were intended to benefit from the provision of water, hygiene and sanitation, awareness creation while the indirect beneficiaries were expected to benefit from awareness creation, hygiene and sanitation trainings.
