U.S. Army 402nd Civil Affairs Battalion and a multi-service mix of American military personnel based at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, oversaw the delivery of seven cisterns to the Dikhil Hospital on March 22.

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Nicholas Northam, a Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) contingency contractor, completed paperwork for the purchase, assisted by U.S. Army Capt. Courtney Sanders and Sgt. Dennis Figuero, both members of the 402nd Civil Affairs Team.

The cisterns, purchased by the 402nd CAB, will benefit roughly 88,000 people in the region who use the Dikhil Hospital and its outlying village clinics. The increased water storage capacity will help medical staff improve hygiene and reduce infections and maternal death rates.

Young patients at the hospital’s pediatric ward watched as the cisterns, loaded on a flat-bed trailer, were delivered and off-loaded. U.S. Army Sgt. David Wilson, 402nd Civil Affairs Battalion, worked with hospital staff to unload the cisterns and prepare them for use.

Of the seven cisterns delivered, five will go to the hospital and two to its outlying medical clinics.
