Clean water with a high flow rate has been struck at 116 meters! It is now serving the emergency needs of Internally Displaced Persons by the famine, as well as drought stricken flocks, herds and nomads.
In 2001, Somalia was ranked 161 out of 163 countries on the Human Development Index compiled by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Poverty is reflected in figures showing 45% of the population estimated to live on less that $1.00 per day. 73% live on less that $2.00 per day. GDP per capita is estimated to have fallen from US $280 in 1989 to $226 in 2002. Somalia is judged to have the 6th highest child mortality rate in the world. It has high levels of disease and hunger, poor life expectancy, low literacy, and poor access to clean water. In 2010 before the famine, 81.2% of Somalis were in poverty and 561,200 were refugees. Now, in 2011 the US Government has stated that so far 26,000 children under five years of age have died from the current famine.
For over 30 years SRF has worked to help Somalis change their future. Please become a partner in this struggle. Visit our web site often.
