Qatar Charity (QC) has inaugurated five solar-powered artesian wells in the regions of Tadjoura, Ali Sabieh, and Arta in Djibouti as part of its efforts to enhance water security and mitigate the effects of drought with support from charitable people in Qatar.
These projects will benefit over 20,000 people and will contribute to irrigating farms and livestock, providing a safe water source for rural and remote communities.
The wells are equipped with tanks and operating equipment that are fully solar-powered, ensuring the sustainability of the service and reducing operational costs in line with modern environmental standards.
Director of QC’s Djibouti office Ghada Eezedin Ahmed, emphasised that the projects are part of QC’s vision to improve the living conditions of vulnerable communities, commending the support of local authorities in facilitating the project’s implementation.
Djibouti’s Minister of Agriculture, Water, Livestock, Fisheries, and Marine Resources Mohamed Ahmed Awaleh, lauded the organisation’s efforts and its role in implementing vital water sector projects, especially in drought-affected areas.
Qatar Charity has implemented numerous water projects in Djibouti from 2016 to 2025, including surface and deep wells as well as water supply networks, benefiting approximately 35,000 people in several regions.
