Our Food Aid Projects

The Food Aid Projects of Garoodi Women Development Association (GWDA) are humanitarian interventions designed to provide timely, lifesaving food assistance to vulnerable households affected by drought, food shortages, displacement, and economic hardship across Somaliland. These projects respond to seasonal crises and emergencies that severely impact rural communities, internally displaced persons (IDPs), women, children, and the elderly.

Due to recurrent droughts and climate-related shocks, many families are unable to meet their basic nutritional needs. GWDA’s food aid interventions help communities survive crisis periods while protecting their dignity and wellbeing.
