Somalia at a Crossroads: Hope Through HURDO Somalia

After decades of conflict, drought, and political instability, the Somali people face daily hardships that threaten their safety and future. Broken institutions and ongoing insecurity have left deep wounds across the country. Yet, Somali communities continue to show strength and resilience. They are determined to rebuild their lives and bring peace to their homeland. HURDO Somalia stands firmly beside these communities, promoting grassroots peacebuilding, strengthening protection systems, and advancing human rights.

🕊️ Peacebuilding in Somalia: Building Trust with HURDO Somalia

True peace begins at the community level. Years of conflict have fragmented Somali society and weakened traditional leadership. Clan conflicts, competition over resources, and extremism continue to threaten stability. HURDO Somalia works to restore harmony by bringing together elders, youth, women’s groups, and local authorities. Through dialogue, mediation, and peace education, HURDO Somalia empowers local leaders to lead peace efforts. This inclusive approach helps reduce violence and build lasting trust.

🛡️ Protection Services by HURDO Somalia for the Vulnerable

Conflict and climate disasters have displaced over 3 million people in Somalia. Many displaced families live in unsafe conditions without access to legal help or basic services. Women and children face high risks of violence, abuse, and exploitation. HURDO Somalia provides critical protection services such as emergency shelters, child safeguarding programs, psychosocial support, and survivor referral systems. We partner with communities to develop early warning systems and train volunteers to respond to protection needs. Our work prioritizes the most vulnerable, ensuring their safety and dignity.

⚖️ Human Rights: The Foundation of HURDO Somalia’s Mission

A just Somalia depends on respect for human rights. Many marginalized groups—women, minorities, people with disabilities, and displaced persons—lack access to justice and essential services. HURDO Somalia promotes a rights-based society through education, legal aid, and advocacy. By equipping people with knowledge and support, HURDO Somalia helps them claim their rights and actively participate in building their communities.
