Somali coastal community facing water scarcity

💧 Why Our Mission Matters

Millions of people in Somalia still lack reliable access to clean water. Families depend on distant, contaminated, or expensive trucked water. These conditions affect:

  • health
  • education
  • daily life
  • women and children who walk long distances for water

AquaSom Solutions is preparing its first pilot to begin changing this reality.

🌊 The Water Crisis We Aim to Solve

Somalia’s coastal and urban communities face severe water challenges:

long walking distances for women and children

  • contaminated shallow wells
  • high salinity in coastal groundwater
  • expensive trucked water
  • lack of sustainable infrastructure

Our work focuses on developing solutions that are practical, renewable, and community‑driven.

☀️ Our Approach

We use a combination of modern engineering and renewable energy to deliver sustainable solutions:

1. Solar‑Powered Desalination

Turning seawater into safe drinking water using clean solar energy.

2. Advanced Water Purification

Removing harmful contaminants from groundwater and surface water.

3. Community Water Systems

Building local water points that reduce travel distance and improve daily life.

4. Rural Distribution Networks

Delivering clean water infrastructure to remote and underserved regions.


🤝 Our Commitment

We are committed to:

  • long‑term sustainability, not temporary fixes
  • affordable solutions designed for real communities
  • local training and job creation
  • transparent, impact‑driven development
  • responsible use of renewable energy
  • community‑centered design and decision‑making


🚀 Future Plans

Phase One: Pilot Deployment

  • Deploy a small‑scale solar‑powered desalination pilot in Mogadishu
  • Validate technical performance
  • Train a local operator
  • Collect real‑world data
  • Build community trust and engagement

Phase Two: Expansion

  • Scale to larger community systems
  • Expand to additional coastal regions such as Kismayo and Berbera
  • Strengthen local water infrastructure
  • Develop long‑term partnerships with NGOs, engineers, and community leaders

Phase Three: National Impact

Reduce dependence on trucked water across Somalia

Support multiple community water points

Build a network of renewable‑energy water systems
