ADRA’s goal is to build and enhance the capacities of vulnerable communities in Somalia to attain sustainable positive change in their lives. Currently, ADRA Program portfolios cover projects in the energy; water and sanitation; education; emergency and food security sectors.

ADRA is currently implementing an integrated program focusing on WASH and livelihood activities for various vulnerable communities in  Somaliland and Mudug.  The program is intended to reach four (7) farmers’ groups through the establishment of demonstration sites and about 20 villages benefitting through the support of WASH activities.

The demonstration sites will include the 4 sites supported by the forerunner of PSWELS at Baki and Gebiley. The two additional sites located at Maroodi Jeeh are borrowing from the pre-existing ones to get the farmers copy the best practices as they learn through the demonstration sites.
