The residents of al-Salool area are suffering from lack of a sustainable water resource. A mountainous area, with sparse seasonal rainfall pattern, the residents suffer from constant draught, and people don’t benefit from the seasonal rainfalls. To fetch water for domestic use, women and children often times spend more than half of their day to access water from the closest water well outside of their village.

Al-Midan neighborhood in the Dar Sa'ad neighborhood in Aden, the people of this neighborhood, children, women and the elderly are suffering daily from the rash of waste water, which becomes a nightmare disturbing their daily life. Getting rid of this suffering is the people's main dream. They are waiting a day in which they can wake up without bad smells, pools of sewage and a night of tranquility without chasing the insects.

The market places and roads of block#14 in Al-Basateen in Aden, in the Dar Sa’ad district, have turned into swamps of wastewater due to the overflow of cesspits. People here have no access to sanitation services because the area had been built in a disorganized fashion making it difficult to connect the homes to the networks. This is why they have resorted to digging cesspits for the wastewater which needs pumping from time to time. When they overflow, the cesspits swamp the streets of the neighborhood creating stagnant pools of wastewater.

The PWP has been making extensive efforts to promote implementation of occupational health and safety measures by contractors and workers during field implementation of sub-projects. To this end, the PWP has been using a carrot and stick policy to approach this. It has been issuing citations to contractors and, at times if they don’t comply, the PWP confiscates their bid bonds. At the same time, the PWP has been organizing training and awareness workshops for contractors and engineers from various governorates of the country to underscore the importance of implementation of occupational health and safety procedures. As part of a scheme of incentives, the PWP has been dispatching safety specialists to project sites to follow-up and prod contractors and workers to adhere to the occupational safety procedures.
