With support from the Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF), Dignity First Somalia (DFS) implemented a community-led lifesaving response for communities in rural Jowhar District affected by multiple shocks and conflict.
Across Timire, Cali Waraabey, Kulmis-Weyne, Maciye Tuurey, and Buulo-Feermo, the project supported communities through Cash for Work, land preparation and ploughing, agricultural seed and farm tool distribution, fertilizers and other agricultural inputs, and pre-harvest crop monitoring.
These interventions supported flood mitigation, restored crop production, and strengthened livelihoods across the five target locations.
We sincerely thank the communities and local stakeholders for their participation and collaboration throughout the project.
