Global Human Services, a 501c3 nonprofit based in Seattle, WA, USA plans to create safe water, sanitation, and healthy living solutions for people living in the Lower Shabelle Region of Somalia. Global Human Services will drill three borehole wells about 25 miles apart in the Lower Shabelle Region that will provide safe clean water to over 15,000 Somali women and children who are now traveling long distances to get water.

Help Children All Over the World

Nearly 10,000 -15,000 children and women bear the daily burden of spending three to four hours per day just searching for water. Once they find water that often is unsafe for drinking or cleaning, they fill their Jerry cans with it and spend another hour to hour and a half carrying it back home. For a family of four, this water lasts one day and is only enough for drinking and cooking. There is no water left for showering, sanitation, or watering their animals. This water causes many diseases.
