Securing Our Somali Children's Future

Lack of access to safe water is a striking feature in almost all parts of Somalia. Probably less than 1 in every 3 households (29 per cent of the population) uses an improved drinking water source. A result of erratic rainfall patterns which are responsible for both droughts and floods, this climatic causation has been compounded by the destruction and looting of water supply installations during the civil war, by depredation during continuing conflicts, and through the general lack of maintenance of existing infrastructure.

Only 37 per cent of the population of Somalia have access to adequate sanitation. Poor hygiene and environmental sanitation are major causes of diseases such as cholera among children and women. The impact of poor environmental sanitation is particularly felt in the cities, towns, large villages, and other places where people are living in close proximity to each other with waste disposal adjacent to dwellings. Lack of garbage collection facilities is another factor affecting the urban environment and polluting water sources, along with the proliferation of plastic refuse bags

Thanks

Oh may Allah (SWT) help all of suffering children around the world. It breaks my hear to see them like that. And knowing the most of the Somali people in the Western world were once like that, and they never look back. WE SOMALI NEED TO DO SOMETHING NOW. May Allah help us INShALLAH.

SOMALI PEOPLE HAVE BROUGHT THIS UPON THEMSELVES. THIS IS JUST A MERE RESULT OF QABIIL. NO MUSLIM COUNTRY WILL STAND HIGH WHEN THE PEOPLE IN IT DISOBEY ALLAH (SWT). AND BECUSE OF THEM THE INOCENT WILL DIE. ALLAH CLEARLY SAID IN THE QURAN IF NOT ONCE. "I WILL NOT HELP OR CHANGE WHATEVER SITUATION YOU ARE IN UNLESS YOU CHANGE WHAT IS INSIDE YOU". IF QABIL IS IN SO MANY PEOPLE'S HEARTS THAN ALLAH WILL NOT HELP US. HUMANS CAN'T CHANGE ANYTHING ULESS IT IS ALLAH'S WILL. MAY ALLAH PURIFY OUR HEARTS .
