Since August 1997, about 23,256 persons of Jowhar town have had unlimited access to safe and potable water supply, thus reducing the incidences of water borne diseases such as cholera, thus contributing in Improving the heath of the communities. Furthermore, there has been reduction in the time spent by women and girls In search of clean water and the provision of employment opportunities for community members.
