From August 2011 to January 2012, Mercy-USA for Aid and Development is digging 44 new wells in Somalia. These wells are being dug in Mogadishu (19 wells), Mudug Region (15 wells) and Galgadud Region (10 wells). Once completed these wells will provide fresh drinking water to communities and villages with a total population of approximately 61,000 persons. Each well costs about $3,250.
 
From May to September 2010, Mercy-USA constructed a water reservoir near the northern town of Buhodle. This reservoir will collect water from the semi-annual rainy seasons, and if filled to its capacity of over 2.5 million gallons, could provide safe drinking water to about 10,000 persons for three months during the dry season.
 
Since 1997, Mercy-USA has played a vital role in providing safe drinking water in Somalia, digging and repairing 258 wells (including the 44 now under construction). Communities with a combined population of over 515,000 persons are benefiting from this safe water program. According to studies carried out by UNICEF, only about one-third of families in Somalia have access to clean drinking water.
