Safe, Affordable Water. Built to Last.
Addressing Somalia’s Water Needs One Town at a Time
Not Aid. Not a Project.
A Social Enterprise Built to Last
Durdur Water Enterprise is a Somali-led social enterprise providing safe, affordable water through professionally managed utility systems. In Badhan, our first location, revenues from water services now cover all operating costs, with no ongoing donor support needed to keep the water flowing.
We build, operate, maintain, and reinvest. Every surplus dollar goes back into the infrastructure, the community, and the next town that needs clean water.
- Treated water piped directly to homes, schools, businesses, and clinics.
- A utility model designed to replace water trucking and donor dependency.
How We Work
Our Model
We provide safe, affordable, and reliable drinking water through permanent infrastructure, local operations, and full reinvestment back into the communities we serve.
Our Model
We design, build, operate, maintain, and reinvest so water systems keep serving communities for the long term.

Before Durdur, families in Badhan walked 3 to 4 kilometres and paid cartel prices for trucked water. Today, treated water flows directly to taps.
