Water treatment facility for hospital. Co-funded with grant from Norwegian ministry of foreign affairs

Type Other
Horizon 1 Years
Max investment 2 500,00 €

Request and need

The hospital is in need of drinking water to ensure hygiene to perform operations and general treatment. The hospital is also the main hospital for treating Cholera patients in the region.
Water is available but it is saline and very often contaminated.


Solution
The solution is to provide a water purification and desalination unit which can desalinate up to 2500ppm and giving minimum 500 drinking water pr hour.

The unit will be powered by a separate and dedicated solar panels(photo voltage) with a battery package to ensure 24/7 operation.

The unit will be financed by humanitarian section in the Norwegian Ministry of foreign affairs(MfA). The installation, operation, maintenance and training will be done by Yme Foundation who has received the funding. Yme will implement through the local Somali company registered as Salsabil and is owned equally by Yme, NORSOM(Norwegian Somali diaspora group) and GSA(the implementing partner of Yme through 12 years in Somalia).


Financing
The investment is paid through the grant from MfA. The hospital pay for water today and will continue to do so for the water provided by the water purification and desalination plant. 


Ownership
The ownership of the plant will be under a public, private partnership(PPP). The hospital is a registered entity and will together with Salsabil and the local authorities be the owners of the plant. Salsabil will do the commissioning and the maintenance for minimum 3 years and will get paid for their service through the income generated by the sale of the water to the hospital.


Crowdfunding potential for increased impact on SDG’s
There is a potential to increase the provision of pure and desalinated drinking water. This can be done to install another desalination unit at a borehole situated within the premises of a Prof Adow vocational training center. Prof Adow is built and established by Yme, NORSOM and GSA with funding form NORAD through the Norwegian Embassy in Nairobi. It is the only one of its kind in Somalia and also supported financially by diaspora groups world wide. Employment rate of the graduates are above 95%, with students coming from all over Somalia.


Management of installation
The unit would be maintained and operated by the center as part of their training. The school was planned and situated next to the hospital in order to provided water, competence and also courses of health personell needed at the hospital. Solar panel and battery package would be installed and dedicated to the unit.


Creating redundancy for drinkingwater
By providing a separate unit at the borehole one would be able to ensure redundancy to secure fresh drinking water to the hospital. 


Income generation
The water would be sold and income generated would be the return on capital to the investors. The investment is USD 50 thousand and capacity minimum 15 000 litre per 24 hours. Today people pay USD 0,5 cent per litre of bottled water.


Showcase for efficient use of seedfunding
To show MfA how their grant can be used to expand the scope and service would be of international interest. Business development and investments from local and international investors is the key to ensure the needed infrastructure to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.


Ownership and investors
Here the ownership would be the same as for the plant at the hospital, but the Prof Adow center would also become owner in the plant. Investors could be invited in aa owners, but preferably they would only be given return on capital both to meet the requirements of Muslim banking and general western banking.
