Food security & livelihoods
We support sustainable livelihoods of communities and households affected by the conflict, floods and drought through promoting sustainable use of available natural resources and encouraging good improved agricultural practices, improve the living conditions of the most vulnerable households by ensuring food security and sustainable development. Also, we contribute to poverty reduction of rural farming households through improved food, income and nutrition security. In addition, the organization supports capital assets and economic recovery initiatives like business skills training, provision of business grants and start-up kits, and literacy training support to women and girls owned VSLAs groups. Our livelihood program strives to eradicate hunger, poverty, malnutrition and food insecurity for the poor people. It gives a particular focus to the marginalized, hard-to-reach and vulnerable host and IDPs communities in Somalia. our primary goal is to strengthen the ability of crisis affected communities to produce enough food and fodder for their livestock to improve their livelihood sources and strengthen their resilience, diversify their incomes, and improving the nutrition status of the most vulnerable members, including malnourished children under five and pregnant and lactating mothers. The programme aims to help people adapt their lives and livelihoods to our changing climate, protect themselves from the increasing risks of disasters caused by climate change, and become more aware of, and resilient to, current and future climate shocks. We also aim to enhance the capacity of drought-prone agro-pastoral communities in border areas of Kenya and Somalia to transition livelihoods from short-term relief to long-term development through improved drought resilience. Through integrated action, research and development, we strive to prototype a transition management approach applicable to complex environments.
