Eight programs delivering essential humanitarian assistance and long-term development across Somalia.
Clean water access, sanitation, and waste management to prevent waterborne disease across affected communities. Our teams construct and rehabilitate wells (biyo dhaamin) in drought-hit districts, giving families reliable access to safe drinking water for the first time in years.
Alongside water infrastructure, we support hygienic sanitation and waste disposal management as part of a basic health care approach that reduces mortality from preventable, waterborne illness.
Preventive and curative health services — including maternal health, child health, and immunization — delivered to communities with little or no other access to care.
These services are designed to reduce mortality among the most vulnerable, working alongside our WASH programs to address the root causes of preventable illness.
Establishing new community schools and upgrading existing ones to provide education facilities to those most in need — with a special focus on girls and underserved children.
We also distribute school bags and supplies directly to students, removing a practical barrier that keeps children out of the classroom.
Emergency food assistance and long-term food security support (rashin qeybin) for drought-affected and displaced families across our operational regions.
We pair emergency relief with hot meal service for the most vulnerable, and longer-term food security programming aimed at reducing communities' dependence on emergency aid over time.
Economic empowerment programs promoting community self-reliance and sustainable income generation, so families can recover and rebuild after crisis rather than remaining dependent on aid.
This work is central to our mission of improved livelihoods for vulnerable communities through environmentally sound, community-managed development.
Safeguarding vulnerable people and equipping young people with skills and opportunities for the future — advocating for the protection of vulnerable communities' rights regardless of politics, clan, sex, or ability to pay.
Youth-focused programming helps the next generation build the skills needed to support their own communities' long-term recovery.
Shelter, schooling, and welfare support for orphaned and vulnerable children across our program areas — one of Al-Khayr's core services since founding in 2021.
Orphanage care is delivered alongside our education and medical care programs so children's health, safety, and schooling are addressed together, not in isolation.
Seasonal Qurban distributions delivering fresh meat and nutrition to families across Somalia's most vulnerable communities — implemented alongside our broader disaster prediction and mitigation work.
