Elwak, (“Ceelwaaq” as it is known in Somali) is a divided town on the Somalia-Kenya border. The Somali portion is located in the southwestern Gedo region, where it is the seat of one of the region’s seven districts. Most of the local population are pastoralists, and also engage in small business and trade. The area main sources of livelihoods are in camels, cows, sheep and goats.

Access to latrines has been a major challenge to the residents of Gedo region. According to KAP survey conducted by AAH-I in May, 2020,Diarrhoea was the widely mentioned disease among the respondent HH closely associated with consumption of contaminated water at 68%. Other conditions associated to drinking water include cholera, typhoid, acute watery diarrhoea and dysentery. Significant majority at 70% of the two communities regards human faeces as harmful (70%) and ought to be disposed appropriately, the reason for their detestation is however largely aesthetic. 40% of the surveyed population nurture the opinion that human faeces are disposed chiefly to observe tidiness and the fact that human faeces are unsightly.

Seventy six percent (68 HH) confirmed to have no latrines and use the bush nearby for defecation. In fact, all respondents in Barwaqo villages confirmed to have no latrine. In Deka village, six (6) latrines were constructed by Dialog Forening (DF) with funds from Norwegian Church Aid (NCA).

Furthermore, the survey team found that eighty eight households at 98% had no garbage/compost pit to dispose household waste.

Household’s knowledge on critical times of handwashing is generally low. 80% of the surveyed population use plain water to wash hands, others use soil/sand with water (13%), Ash and water (5%) and soap and water (2%). The reason for low soap use has to do with the cost and availability of soap. Almost all 99% of the household survey respondents regarded soap as expensive and 71% of them confirmed that soap is not available.
