Addressing Somalia’s Challenges with Hope and Action

Message from the Executive Director

The socio-economic indicators in Somalia is troubling. With over 2.6 million people in IDPs and 4.6 million food insecure, by last quarter of 2020, and the effects of droughts, floods, cyclones and locusts’ invasions still stalking the country, let alone political uncertainties and insurgency, Somalia is still in a precarious situation.

To reverse this, SEDO works with likeminded partners to design and implement humanitarian and development-oriented programs that aims to bring about the envisioned social change in the communities. SEDO’s programming are diverse; they cover environmental protections, livelihood, relief, skills training, protection, nutrition and food security, fishing, Natural Resource Management, social innovation, health and education.
