Every morning, children and women flock to the only well in the Dommimat district of Qabaytah, the province of Lahj. The well, which suffers from a very difficult situation, has no insulation wall or even a cover covering the well. Abeer, 15, says it takes about an hour to fill three containers of water from the pit through the clouds, which is equivalent to sixty liters and is transported to her head to the village on a two-hour trip back and forth. Abeer suffers from severe pain in her back and neck, of long walks carrying water containers.
Abu Khalid said the problem is that the well has many problems, although it contains water, but the danger is very peril, there is no fence or cover and it does not contain a pump to withdraw water and does not have the power cord to install water pump to suck water.
Abeer said that the Integrated Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Response Project for IDPs, Returnees and Host Communities in the High Malnutrition Areas in Lahj and Abyan provide a great assistance , funding from OCHA, had achieved a dream that was difficult for the villagers to achieve. He wrote about the pyre and installed a cover for the well and they installed a network of solar panels and a submersible and water lifting engine.
Abeer declared that the project implemented on the ground and the dream has been achieved and she is filling the water containers with less than 5 minutes after installation of faucets and reservoirs.
