Emergency Response

Somalia is a country hit by both war as well as natural disasters. Apart from the conflicts, almost every year there are floods occurring in the areas we work in and at the same time droughts can occur, heavily affecting the livelihoods of agro pastoralists. Whenever these events are happening, WOCCA tries to respond in ways to reduce the impacts of these disasters. This can be the buying of livestock before it dies, or supply and chlorination of water. Interventions are always discussed with the community to ensure the people that are benefitting are the ones that are really in need.
