In Sohag, USAID Mission Director Leslie Reed and USAID’s water team joined the Chairman of the Holding Company for Water and Wastewater Engineer Mamdouh Raslan and his deputies to inaugurate the USAID-supported El Shouka wastewater collection system and pump station. This system will enable an additional 14,000 people in Sohag governorate to receive wastewater services for the first time.
The inauguration and commissioning of these systems builds on USAID’s long term investment in Egypt’s water resources. In 2009, USAID supported the establishment of the Sohag and Assiut water and wastewater companies, which now employ more than 12,000 people and provide critical water and wastewater services to over 10 million people.
Since 1978, USAID has invested more than $3.5 billion to bring clean water and sanitation services to the homes of over 25 million Egyptians. USAID constructed and rehabilitated water and wastewater systems in Cairo, Alexandria, three Suez Canal cities, Mansoura, North Sinai, and across Upper Egypt.
