πThanks to @ECHO_CESAfrica and @SwissEmbassyKE, weβre supporting families like Osmanβs in Buurhakaba & Qansaxdheere #Somalia.
With @gredosom & @Somali_Cash, cash assistance helped Osman (63) and his 8 children meet urgent needs and rebuild hope.
Jun 2
At 63 years old, Osman Ibrahim carried the burden of caring for eight children after displacement stripped his family of their livelihood and left them facing hunger and uncertainty.
When he arrived at Misaare IDP Camp in Buurhakaba, he had little hope for the future. Today, he is rebuilding his life with renewed confidence and dignity.
Osman is one of 1,000 vulnerable households supported through the @Somali_Cash, in partnership with @SaveChildrenSO in Buurhakaba and Qansaxdheere districts.
Through the project, he received USD 100 per month for three consecutive months, helping him meet urgent needs and take the first steps toward rebuilding his livelihood.

Proud to support @MOHPuntland's HSSP III 2026-2030 through CHASP III.

Thank you for this partnership.

What does a new health strategy mean for the people of Puntland?
The recently launched Puntland Health Sector Strategic Plan III (HSSP III) 2026-2030, is more than a plan - itβs a commitment to better access to quality care, stronger health systems, and greater resilience for communities.
Developed with @SaveChildrenSO (CHASP III, funded by Sweden through Sida & SDC), it puts people at the center of Puntlandβs health future.

The flood gave Ahmed's family no warning. They lost their farm and home and spent 5 months on higher ground.
Cash assistance from @SaveChildrenSO & @Somali_Cash, funded by @ECHO_CESAfrica, carried them through. "That money is what carried us through."

In partnership with @SaveChildrenSO, under the DANIDA SPA Programme, GREDO successfully conducted a 4-day intensive training for 22 youth and women farmers in Baidoa, equipping them with practical skills in agronomic practices, greenhouse vegetable production, pest and disease management, and post-harvest handling.
The hands-on training aimed to strengthen productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, and improve market readiness, contributing to resilient livelihoods and the sustainable expansion of greenhouse farming across the region.
Thanks to @DanishMFA for the support.
