DJIBOUTI: Qatar Charity (QC) has started building a solar-powered seawater desalination plant in Dalaf, located in the Obock region of Djibouti. This project is an important step towards sustainable development and will improve access to clean water for the local community. As the second desalination plant of its kind in Djibouti, it aims to provide safe drinking water for about 5,000 people.

- Lord, we lift up the people of Djibouti who will benefit from this desalination plant. May access to clean water transform their lives, promote health, and foster hope in their community. We also pray that this project paves the way for further sustainable initiatives in the region (The Holy Bible, Jeremiah 29:11).
