Who We Are?

SHARE — Somali Humanitarian Action for Relief and Empowerment — was established in 2020 in direct response to Somalia’s protracted and deepening humanitarian crisis. The founding team of Somali humanitarian practitioners recognized a critical gap: while international organizations provided significant resources, the absence of a strong, locally-led Somali NGO capable of reaching the most remote and conflict-affected communities in the South West State — particularly in Bay and Bakool regions — was leaving entire populations without life-saving assistance.

Key Program Areas

Emergency Humanitarian Response

SHARE deploys rapid-response teams to conflict-affected and disaster-struck areas. Core activities: emergency food distribution, non-food item provision, emergency shelter support, emergency WASH services, and primary health care in displacement settings.

Food Security & Nutrition

SHARE implements both emergency food distributions and long-term food security programming including cash-for-food transfers, kitchen garden promotion, nutrition screening, therapeutic feeding, and support to smallholder farmers and pastoralists.

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene

SHARE rehabilitates and constructs water infrastructure including boreholes, water kiosks, and rainwater harvesting. Hygiene promotion and sanitation facility construction are integrated into all WASH programs.

Education & Youth Development

SHARE supports education access through school rehabilitation, learning materials, teacher capacity building, and child-friendly spaces in IDP camps. Youth programs include life-skills, vocational education, and leadership development.

Health & Nutrition

Mobile health clinics, maternal and child health, disease surveillance, community health worker training, and GBV prevention and response are the core pillars of SHARE’s health programming.

Livelihoods & Economic Empowerment

Vocational training, business skills, cash and voucher assistance, and micro-enterprise support with targeted programming for women-headed households, youth, and ex-combatants.

Peacebuilding & Protection

Dedicated peacebuilding through inter-clan dialogue platforms, community peace committees, child protection, GBV response, and rights-based programming for people with disabilities.
