CARE - Yemen

In many poor, rural communities in Yemen, local water supply systems are in desperate need; many are contaminated, and lack of proper sanitation facilities threatens to keep them that way. CARE has already built wells, pump stations and water-storage tanks in Al Mahweet. This project will finish the job by constructing systems to move the water from its source to 100 people’s homes and village spigots. CARE will engage the community directly to help improve people’s health. Through training held in schools, community literacy classes and among various groups and associations, children and adults will learn about proper sanitation and hygiene practices as well as how to ensure access to clean water.
