Drop of Hope Brings Clean Water to the Residents of Jazirat Milaj in Deir Ez-Zor Countryside

The Community Health Department of Dan Foundation for Relief and Development implemented the “Drop of Hope” initiative in the Al‑Jazrat area of Deir Ez-Zor countryside. The initiative involved providing an integrated solar energy system—consisting of 14 solar panels, a lithium battery, a power inverter, and all necessary accessories—to operate a water filtration system at a community water station in Jazirat Milaj, supplying clean water to approximately 400 families
This was carried out in cooperation with the Community Health Committee and the Peace Committee, both affiliated with the Foundation’s Community Health Department.

The initiative also included the implementation of awareness sessions in Jazirat Milaj on the importance of drinking clean water, in addition to painting several murals in public spaces to visually highlight the importance of safe drinking water.
