Description
Abdisalam Mahdi Hassan and co-authors count how many Somali households still drink from unsafe water sources, and why, in this 2024 study. Safe water is a basic right, yet Somalia's infrastructure leaves many families drawing from unprotected wells, rivers, and vendors. The team mined the 2020 national demographic and health survey, covering more than thirty-two thousand participants. Statistical models then hunted the traits that travel with unimproved sources.
Wealth, region, and household features were all weighed for their pull on water choice. Knowing which factors matter most tells aid programs where pipes, wells, or money will change the most lives. Studies like this turn a national survey into a targeting map for one of public health's oldest fights.
