ALGASL Donates Water Truck to Ceel-Afweyn to Support Vulnerable Communities and Promote Environmental Sustainability
Hargeisa, Somaliland
The Association of Local Government Authorities of Somaliland (ALGASL) has made a significant contribution to the Local Government of Ceel-Afweyn, a district in eastern Somaliland, by donating a water truck to assist in alleviating the challenges of water scarcity. Ceel-Afweyn is a district that faces numerous obstacles, including recurring droughts, climate change, and limited access to clean water. The donation aims to address these critical issues and support the community's resilience.
Addressing Water Scarcity in Ceel-Afweyn
The district of Ceel-Afweyn has long struggled with inadequate water resources due to climate change and the ongoing drought affecting much of the region. This water truck will provide much-needed relief to vulnerable communities in the district, ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water. The ALGASL donation is part of a broader initiative to support local governments in delivering essential services to their communities.
The donation reflects ALGASL’s ongoing efforts to empower local authorities in Somaliland, enabling them to respond effectively to urgent needs, such as water supply and sanitation. Local government authorities in Ceel-Afweyn will use the water truck to distribute water to remote and underserved areas, ensuring that families and households have access to a reliable water source.
Supporting Environmental Sustainability
In addition to addressing immediate water needs, ALGASL’s donation aligns with efforts to promote environmental sustainability in Ceel-Afweyn. As part of the initiative, the Local Government of Ceel-Afweyn plans to use the water truck to support tree-planting initiatives aimed at creating greener urban spaces. These initiatives are vital in combating desertification, improving air quality, and promoting a healthier environment.
By integrating environmental considerations with water distribution, ALGASL and Ceel-Afweyn are working together to create a more resilient and sustainable future for the district.
ALGASL’s Commitment to Local Development

Through targeted interventions like this, ALGASL seeks to ensure that local governments have the resources and tools necessary to improve the lives of their communities.

The donation of the water truck to Ceel-Afweyn marks a significant step in improving the lives of local communities and addressing key environmental challenges. It is a clear example of how targeted, practical support can bring tangible benefits to vulnerable populations. ALGASL remains committed to supporting local authorities across Somaliland in their efforts to create more sustainable, resilient communities.
