BACKGROUND AND PROBLEMS ANALYSIS
The drought in Somalia in the last decade brought untold suffering
to the people and the in the North the people are still suffering under
the bad issue who will soon give up their animals and farming.
On the 20th of December 2016 certain Association were badly
vandalized. After this date, bad drought occupies all the areas. Their
stories were not good to hear. Among that issue it committed were
houses, school, and other privates properties, the scared believes of
the old people died hunger while young children became
malnutrition the human right of the people completely disregarded.
The Malin Association Project Fund Charity (MAPFC) which is an
umbrella organization of four men and Five Women Association in
the Mogadishu recognized its role, and aware of the plight of its
people consulted with a local NGO operating in Somalia specially
Mogadishu on how to assist the people from the rural area who
affected by the bad drought.
Based on the advice of local society, meetings and assessments were
done to ascertain the level of commitment and the capacity of the
Malin project executive and participants as well as the needs of the
participants from the above certain findings, suggestions and
agreement were reached.
- The executive agreed that Malin Association Project Fund
Charity would work in collaboration and the implementation
of the project.
- Livestock (small ruminants), which were owned by
participants, have been completely died during the drought.
- There is no enough livestock available within the
communities.
- Access to livestock is limited because of lack of funds.
It is in the view of this background that the Malin Association
Project Fund Charity in collaboration with local NGOS would
intervene to alleviate the communities’ dire needs.
The project package also serves as a means of replacement of lost
livestock. Since the farm families lack funds and alternative
resources to purchase them, this will give back livestock to the
participants who have lost everything in life.
