For communities in Somalia, years of conflict and instability have left their mark. Millions of people across the country face an uncertain future.
Almost half of the population are in need of humanitarian assistance. That’s a staggering 6.2 million people
Life is challenging for many people across Somalia, where life expectancy is very low.
When it comes to staying healthy, there are multiple challenges.
With climate change-induced drought and a lack of water, crops arent growing enough. Families are therefore going hungry with two million people without regular access to food.
What’s more, in addition to food shortages, people are often forced to drink unsafe water. This means that men, women and children are risking contracting waterborne diseases such as cholera and acute watery diarrhoea.
With a staggering 73% of the population currently living on less than £1.50 ($2) a day, our projects aim to provide emergency relief and sustainable development.
Years of conflict and instability mean that millions of people across Somalia face an uncertain future. Out of a population of over 14 million, around 6.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance.
People and communities across Somalia share the same hopes and dreams as us yet many face life threatening challenges: poor access to safe drinking water, education and sanitation.
With the ongoing food crisis across East Africa, we are continuing to serve communities across Somalia providing emergency relief. Our emergency programmes continue to help displaced people in areas across the Puntland and Somaliland. In 2011 alone, our £22 million emergency relief programme provided one million people with food aid, 400,000 people with clean drinking water and over 10 tonnes of medication to hospitals and health centres.
