Access to clean water should not be a luxury. Recognizing that many families in Beledhawa struggle to afford regular water bills, BEWASCO launched its Water for All social support program in early 2025.
Eligible households receive a free monthly water allocation of 500 litres enough for drinking, cooking, and basic hygiene. Families that qualify include:
Community leaders and local NGO partners helped identify and register beneficiaries. Each household was issued a BEWASCO Support Card scanned at kiosks to collect their monthly allocation at no cost.
This program has saved my family. I am a widow with five children and now I do not worry about water anymore. - Halima Mohamud, beneficiary
