In #Somalia, Acted, with the support from @USAIDSavesLives, has established and provided training to Village Savings & Loan Association (VSLA) groups in Baidoa & Bardhere districts to enable vulnerable communities to build sustainable savings & gain long-term economic stability.
The VSLA groups are equipped with essential financial skills, saving techniques, record-keeping, bylaw formulation, and loan disbursement processes, benefiting from this community-level saving and lending mechanism.

Loekus* is a resident of Lesuwa Village and a beneficiary of @Acted's borehole project to improve access to clean water. His familyβs distance to fetch water now has significantly reduced, and he no longer worries about being infected by waterborne diseases from surface water.
π°By providing more water access to marginalized and drought-affected communities, @acted_kenya is working to achieving a world with #ZeroExclusion, because no one should be excluded from safe drinking water.

#WorldToiletDay,
#Somalia, 34% of families practice open defecation in 2024. To ensure safe access to toilets, @Acted with the support of @eu_echo, @USAIDSavesLives & @OCHASom, constructs over 600 flood projected latrines equipped with solar lights and handwashing facilities.
In #Somalia, Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) needs remain severe due to compounded shocks such as recurrent drought, floods and conflicts. Nearly #7 million people need lifesaving WASH assistance in 2024.
With support from the @USAIDsaveslives, @Acted and its local partners @SADOsomalia & @gredosom provide essential hygiene kits to the most vulnerable households affected by drought, conflict and climate change in 11 districts in Southern Somalia, improving sanitation & hygiene.
