Al-Barjas added that this project comes within the framework of the humanitarian aid provided by the KRCS to people of Somalia as directed by His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah the Honorary President of the society.

The implementation of this project came after a field study and response to the humanity calls to participate in saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of children, women and elderly persons in Somalia who die as a result of thirst and famine due to drought in the past four years in some areas there.

He pointed out that the goal of KRCS is to provide a clean source of water in Somalia, especially in Bosaso city and its neighboring villages that suffer from water shortage, desertification and drought.
