Support Garoodi Women Development Association

The GWDA Child Sponsorship Program is a life-changing initiative designed to support orphans and children from extremely poor households by providing access to education, healthcare, clothing, and basic needs. Many children in rural and low-income communities across Somaliland face barriers such as poverty, lack of school supplies, malnutrition, and limited access to medical care.
GWDA created this program to ensure that no child is left behind due to circumstances beyond their control.
