Clean Water Powered by the Sun

Reliable access to clean water remains a daily struggle for millions across Africa. Over 400 million people still live without safe drinking water, and in drought-affected regions, women and children walk hours each day to fetch unsafe water. Solar Powered Well Systems offer a sustainable solution for remote communities where electricity is unavailable and water scarcity is severe.

Why Solar Wells Matter:

  • Solar Energy Systems: Clean, renewable power ensures continuous water supply with minimal maintenance.
  • Groundwater Access: Deep boreholes provide safe water for households and livestock year-round.
  • Community-Centred Design: Projects are planned with local input to ensure long-term ownership and use.

Built for the Future

Durable systems reduce costs, emissions, and dependency on external resources.

“Whoever digs a well will receive a reward from Allah on the Day of Resurrection for every living being, whether human, bird, or beast, that drinks from it.” (Sahih Bukhari).

The Bigger Picture

Why Solar Water Systems Matter:

  • Climate change has left over 40 million people in East Africa facing severe water shortages due to prolonged droughts.
  • Nearly 70% of rural communities in drought-affected regions lack reliable access to clean water and electricity.
  • Traditional fuel-powered water systems increase costs and contribute to carbon emissions, making them unsustainable for vulnerable areas.

Thank You from Falayryaale Village, Somalia

ARF’s solar-powered well system in Falayryaale now serves 6,000 families from the village and surrounding areas, along with their livestock. Powered entirely by solar energy, the system pumps water into storage tanks connected to modern tap kiosks that provide shade for users.

The site includes animal watering troughs, a guardhouse, and secure storage facilities. The system even generates enough energy for villagers to charge mobile phones—transforming daily life beyond water access. Falayryaale’s solar well stands as a powerful example of how eco-friendly, sustainable solutions can restore dignity and resilience to entire communities.

Join us today. Build a Solar well. Give the basic need of clean water to the people of Somalia.
