Salsal Waterlines

Wusab Rising

Art . Socail service

In Wusab as Safil, Dhamar — one of the most water-scarce regions in Yemen — families walk hours each day for a single bucket of water.
Salsal for Wusab is our response: a community-led project to provide clean, safe, and sustainable water to over 10,000 people through solar-powered wells and basic infrastructure.

“Because water shouldn’t be a privilege – it’s a human right.”

Vision

We envision a Wusab where

  • Girls go to school instead of fetching water
  • Farmers irrigate with confidence
  • Clinics offer care without water shortages
  • Communities manage their own resources

We believe in solutions that are local, durable, and powered by the sun — not by fossil fuel.

What We’re Building

We’re starting with two deep solar wells, designed to serve 10,000–12,000 people.

  • Each well includes:
  •  Solar-powered pumping system (off-grid)
  • Deep borehole to clean aquifers
  • Storage tank (10,000L)
  • Public tap stations
  • Pipes to nearby schools or clinics
  •  Local water committees to manage and maintain it
