Restoring WASH in Guhbal Village

After years of displacement following the 2014 genocide, Yazidi families are returning to the Guhbal complex of Sinjar – only to discover that their community’s water systems, including the wells they once relied on, had been neglected and damaged as a result of prolonged conflict.

After Nadia’s Initiative rehabilitated the wells and restored the water network, more than 100 families now have safe, continuous access to water for drinking, cooking, washing, and caring for their homes.

Access to clean water is a cornerstone of sustainable development – essential for health, dignity, and families’ ability to rebuild their lives after displacement.

This project was made possible through the generous support of the State of Baden-Württemberg through the Baden-Württemberg Development Cooperation Foundation (SEZ).
