Medical Care and Hunger Relief in Somalia
As the first American non-governmental organization in the country, we braved civil war to deliver desperately needed war-related surgery to civilians injured in the capital, Mogadishu, then follow up with a nutrition program for those caught up in an ensuing famine that grips vast areas of central Somalia. The speed and reach of our emergency response furthered our reputation as an organization of first responders prepared to go where we are needed most, no matter where, no matter what the conditions.
