EDEN Supports UNICEF project in Africa

Eden has chosen to support UNICEF in a rural water system project in Somalia, Africa. Owing to its arid climate, Somalia relies heavily on deep boreholes as water sources in rural areas. These boreholes require generator-driven submersible pumps to extract the water. The systems are complex and difficult for rural Somali communities to maintain. This UNICEF project, with the support of Eden, will use the infrastructure of 2 urban communities Erigavo in the Northwest, and Gardo in the Northeast, expanding their services to bring water to the surrounding rural population, an estimated 70,000 people.
