To strengthen the resilience of communities in Eastern Mudug by improving access to reliable water and livestock fodder, restoring degraded land, and supporting sustainable livelihoods.

A thriving Eastern Mudug where communities have secure livelihoods, healthy land, and reliable water, enabling future generations to prosper.

Our work focuses on fodder production, environmental restoration, and practical support for pastoralist and farming communities. Alongside these activities , we seek to develop initiatives that improve water security and expand local economic opportunities.

We shape our work through community consultation , field assessments and technical advice. Local leaders, farmers and pastoralists help identify priorities, while specialists guide practical implementation. We use trials and ongoing monitoring to learn what works before expanding activities.

We operate in drought-prone regions of Somalia, with a primary focus on Eastern Mudug, where communities face recurring climate challenges, limited infrastructure, and restricted access to essential services.
