Life-Saving Humanitarian Assistance

Oxfam provides large-scale humanitarian aid focusing on water, sanitation, hygiene, and food security. We ensure immediate needs are met while laying the groundwork for long-term recovery and resilience. Our activities include constructing water sources, trucking water to remote communities, building latrines, and providing multi-purpose cash grants that empower communities to meet their needs. We prioritize the protection of women and children from security risks.

We also advocate for Somali civil society and government actors to play a more prominent role in humanitarian responses. As we look to the future, we link our humanitarian work with building community resilience, such as mitigating the impacts of climate change through sustainable water resources.
