In 2022, Somalia once again found itself on the cusp of famine, having suffered its most prolonged and severe drought in 40 years. This left nearly half the country’s population grappling with hunger and malnutrition, further exacerbated by sky-rocketing prices of commodities.
In the face of these challenges, with our partners, we mobilised resources and support to meet the immediate humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable children and their families, including continuing our resilience-building programmes. Thanks to this, World Vision reached over one million children– stretching our resources to those even in inaccessible locations, to address vulnerabilities created by hunger, conflict, and other challenges.
