Our Food and Livelihoods programs are dedicated to ensuring access to sufficient and nutritious food for children and their families, particularly during and after disaster shocks.

The main goal is to help vulnerable households affected by disasters by providing them with food and emergency money. A significant number of affected individuals relocate from rural regions to makeshift settlements in internally displaced camps located in major towns.

The program also aims to enhance household food security in agropastoral areas by utilizing existing resources, including accessing rivers for irrigation. Agricultural farming communities receive training and materials to improve their irrigation and farming practices.

World Vision is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of Somali children, women, and communities with a primary focus on child well-being.

To achieve this, we aim to protect children from infection and disease while ensuring they are well-nourished.

World Vision collaborates with federal and state governments to strengthen health systems through infrastructure development, the provision of medical supplies, capacity building, and incentives for health personnel. Additionally, World Vision collaborates with other stakeholders to address diverse health and nutrition challenges.

The implemented sectoral strategies, emphasizing resilient livelihoods and food security, have proven effective in promoting child well-being. They employ innovative approaches to enhance capacity and systems, contributing to improved healthcare services in Somalia and Somaliland.

World Vision is collaborating with other organizations in Somalia to ensure that children have access to quality education equipping them with essential skills for the future.

This collaboration extends to Education Ministries in Puntland and South West States, as well as local community groups and education committees.

Our initiatives include repairing and constructing classrooms, ensuring clean water and toilets, and rewarding teachers. Furthermore, we implement teacher training programs to enhance teaching skills.

These efforts assist in increasing the number of children attending school. This, in turn, provides them with additional time spent with teachers. Ultimately, improving their academic performance.
