How Can We Help Somalia in Times of Crisis?

Somalia is currently facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with an estimated 6.9 million people projected to require assistance in 2025. Recurring droughts, devastating floods, and widespread food insecurity have left families vulnerable and in dire need. As members of “Our Islamic Charity,” we are committed to standing by our brothers and sisters in Somalia, providing critical aid to alleviate their suffering and restore hope.

The Ongoing Struggle – Droughts and Floods Devastating Communities

Somalia has long been plagued by extreme climate conditions, with cycles of drought and floods pushing communities to the brink. Recent floods have submerged entire villages, displacing thousands and destroying essential infrastructure. These floods came on the heels of prolonged droughts that had already depleted water sources and devastated crops, exacerbating the challenges faced by local communities and making it even harder to rebuild lives.

An example that happened based on last year’s statistics, Bardhere: Located in the Gedo region, Bardhere has been severely affected by climate change, experiencing frequent droughts and floods. Recent floods have impacted approximately 50,000 residents, damaging homes and disrupting livelihoods.

The combination of drought and flood exacerbates the challenges faced by local communities, making it even harder to rebuild lives. Many regions experience severe soil erosion due to the absence of tree cover, intensifying the risk of future floods. To combat this, we must focus on planting drought-resistant trees and creating natural water channels to prevent further soil degradation and reduce the likelihood of flooding.

We cannot ignore the devastating impact these natural disasters have on the people of Somalia. Families lose their homes, farmland, and livestock—essential lifelines for survival. In areas hit hardest, entire communities are left struggling without access to clean water or food. This is where we must step in and provide not just immediate relief, but also sustainable solutions to prevent further suffering.

Addressing Hunger, Water Scarcity, and Hygiene

Access to clean water and sufficient food remains a primary challenge for Somali families. In many underdeveloped and impoverished areas, malnutrition is rampant, especially among children. Families are forced to travel long distances in search of water, often returning with contaminated supplies that lead to disease and further hardship.

Our priority is to:

• Drill deep wells to tap into underground reserves, providing sustainable solutions to water scarcity.
• Install industrial water purifiers to convert seawater into clean drinking water, ensuring coastal communities have reliable access to water.
• Distribute essential food packages to address malnutrition by supplying vital nutrients and vitamins to families.
• Provide hygiene kits, including soap, disinfectants, and personal care items, to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases.

In the most affected regions, building water wells can change lives instantly. With access to clean water, families can focus on rebuilding their lives rather than spending days searching for basic necessities. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that every donation goes directly towards these life-changing projects.

Sustainable Solutions – Planting Drought-Resistant Trees

To combat environmental degradation and support local livelihoods, planting drought-resistant trees is essential. One such tree suitable for Somalia’s arid climate is the Prosopis juliflora. While often considered invasive, innovative management practices have transformed it into a valuable resource. Communities have utilized Prosopis for:

• Animal feed supplements: Processing pods into livestock feed.
• Charcoal production: Providing alternative energy sources and reducing reliance on native Acacia trees.

These practices have created entrepreneurial and employment opportunities, particularly for women and youth, contributing to economic growth and climate change adaptation. Trees like Prosopis not only provide much-needed shade and reduce soil erosion but also serve as natural barriers against flooding.

By planting the right trees and managing the land properly, we can help restore balance to Somalia’s fragile ecosystems. This long-term approach ensures that communities are better prepared for the inevitable cycles of drought and flood.
