Project overview

Water is life. It is a basic human necessity, yet millions of people—particularly in Africa rural areas —still lack reliable access to clean and safe water. While water scarcity affects entire communities, women and girls carry a disproportionate share of the burden. In many communities, women and girls are primarily responsible for collecting water, often walking long distances each day. This reality affects nearly every aspect of their lives, limiting access to education, impacting health, reducing economic opportunities, and increasing exposure to safety risks. This project focuses on the identification of water sources to update the data needed for more effective water planning. In the context of World Water Day, this initiative demonstrates how digital mapping can reduce vulnerability, empower women, and support sustainable water access—helping ensure that communities are not only visible on the map, but better served in the long term. The scope is to identyfy updates and check completeness of water sources in Somalia to mantain updated the info from previous campaigns.
