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.
The program currently supports over 400 children, enabling them to attend school consistently, receive healthcare, and grow into empowered, self-reliant adults.
The Child Sponsorship Program primarily supports:
Orphans
Children from low-income and vulnerable households
Children affected by drought, displacement, or family instability
Children at risk of dropping out of school due to poverty
Yearly financial support for clothes and shoes
Provision of hygiene kits and personal care items
