Save Somali Women and Children - SSWC continues to stand with crisis-affected communities across Somalia—a commitment we have upheld since 1992.

Through the Somalia Acute Crisis Joint Response, implemented by SSWC in partnership with CARE International Som, we have been delivering critical, life-saving health services to internally displaced and crisis-affected communities in Galkayo since March this year.

At the Health Centre in Badiradley, care begins with the first consultation and continues throughout the continuum of need, from life-saving treatment and regular monitoring of pregnant women to safe deliveries; from early childhood screening and immunization to the provision of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) for children facing acute malnutrition.

These services are more than healthcare,they are a lifeline for families who have already endured displacement, vulnerability, and repeated crises.

This vital response has been made possible through funding from , enabling vulnerable families to access essential services at a time when they need them most.

But this lifeline is at risk.

The project is scheduled to end by the end of September 2026. Without renewed and additional funding, these essential health services could come to an end, leaving crisis-affected communities without access to timely maternal, child, nutrition, and primary healthcare.

We cannot allow the gains made to be lost.

calls on donors, humanitarian partners, and all stakeholders committed to protecting vulnerable communities in Somalia to step forward with urgent and flexible funding to sustain these life-saving services.

For the families in Baddiradley and across Galkayo, continued support is not simply about maintaining a project, it is about protecting lives, preserving dignity, and ensuring that no mother or child is left without care when they need it most.

The need is urgent. The services are proven. The communities cannot wait.

Under the Somalia Drought Acute Crisis Joint Response (ACJR) project, Save Somali Women and Children - SSWC, in collaboration with the Ministry of Livestock, Galmudug State, officially launched a three-week livestock treatment campaign on 6 July, 2026 in Galkacyo District.

The campaign will be implemented across the five ACJR target villages of Qorqoora, Bitaale, Bandarqaali, Carfuuda and Ooman as well as surrounding pastoral settlements. The initiative aims to provide essential veterinary services to more than 10,000 livestock, including camels, cattle, goats, sheep and donkeys.

The treatment campaign focuses on the prevention and management of endo-parasites and ecto-parasites, respiratory infections, bacterial and viral diseases, goat pox, malnutrition-related conditions and other common livestock health challenges affecting drought-affected pastoral communities.

This intervention is generously supported by the Relief Alliance (DRA) and implemented by SSWC in partnership with Oxfam Somali , in close collaboration with the Ministry of Livestock, Galmudug State.

By improving livestock health and productivity, the campaign will help reduce livestock mortality, safeguard pastoral livelihoods, strengthen household food security and enhance the resilience of drought-affected pastoral communities.

Together, we are building healthier herds, stronger livelihoods and more resilient communities.
