Humanitarian Response

In a region prone to natural disasters and conflicts, GECPD plays a crucial role in emergency response and building community resilience. Our work in this area includes:

Disaster Preparedness:

  • We conduct community-based disaster risk assessments and develop local emergency response plans.
  • Our training programs equip communities with skills in first aid, evacuation procedures, and early warning systems.

Emergency Assistance:

  • During crises such as droughts or floods, we provide immediate relief including food, water, and temporary shelter.
  • Our mobile health teams offer emergency medical services in affected areas.

Climate Change Awareness:

  • We run education programs on climate change causes, impacts, and mitigation strategies.
  • Our environmental conservation initiatives include tree planting and waste management projects.

Rebuilding and Recovery:

  • Post-disaster, we support communities in rebuilding infrastructure and livelihoods.
  • Our psychosocial support programs help individuals and communities recover from trauma.

Through our emergency response work, we aim to not only provide immediate relief but also build long-term resilience in Somali communities

Join us in our mission to create a Somalia where every woman and child is safeguarded and empowered.
