Gargaar Humanitarian & Development Organization

Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives

Vision:


To pioneer charitable and sustainable developmental initiatives that empower communities across Hirshabelle and all regions of Somalia.

Education

Gargaar Humanitarian & Development Organization firmly believes that promoting education is one of the most crucial means to overcome and combat ignorance and poverty. Education serves as the key to success, and therefore remains among GARGAAR’s primary focus areas.

Health & Nutrition

At Gargaar Humanitarian & Development Organization, we believe that every child deserves the chance to thrive. That’s why our nutrition programs are at the forefront of our efforts to uplift communities in South Central Somalia. Since our founding in 2008, we have been dedicated to providing essential relief services, including food security, health and nutrition, shelter, water, and sanitation.

Livelihoods & Capacity Building

We believe that sustainable development begins with empowering individuals and communities. Our Livelihoods & Capacity Building program is a testament to this belief, as we work tirelessly to equip vulnerable populations with the skills, resources, and opportunities they need to build a better future.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene(WASH)

we understand the critical importance of access to clean water, proper sanitation, and good hygiene practices. These fundamental necessities are not just about convenience; they are essential for health, dignity, and overall well-being.

Our Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives are designed to address the pressing needs of vulnerable communities, particularly in Hirshabelle region. We work tirelessly to provide sustainable solutions that empower individuals and families to lead healthier, more productive lives.

Emergency Relief

In the face of crisis, Gargaar Humanitarian & Development Organization stands as a beacon of hope for the people of Somalia. Founded in 2008, this nongovernmental, non-profit, and non-religious community-based organization has been operating tirelessly throughout South Central Somalia, providing essential humanitarian aid and development support.

Since its inception, Gargaar has reached hundreds of thousands of Somalis, offering vital services in food security, health and nutrition, shelter, water, and sanitation. Through partnerships with humanitarian organizations, including UN agencies and other international entities, Gargaar has implemented crucial Water, Health, Nutrition, and Sanitation (WASH) projects in central Somalia, including for internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Conflict and Peace Building

Gargaar’s impact extends beyond immediate relief efforts. The organization also plays a crucial role in conflict resolution and peacebuilding, fostering dialog and promoting reconciliation among communities torn apart by years of unrest. By addressing the root causes of conflict and empowering local populations, Gargaar is paving the way for a more stable and prosperous future for Somalia.
