Founded in 2001, we work to build the capacity of vulnerable communities living in Arid and Semi-Arid lands across the Horn of Africa in preventing and mitigating the impact of hazards of communities at risk.
“ In the arid lands of the Horn of Africa, the impact of climate change on pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities is profound and undeniable. The changing weather patterns, prolonged droughts, and unpredictable rainfall have significantly disrupted traditional livelihoods, leaving these vulnerable communities facing unprecedented challenges.
As we witness the escalating effects of climate change, it is crucial for us to play a proactive role in supporting adaptation activities in the region. By collaborating with these communities, sharing knowledge, and implementing sustainable practices, we can empower them to build resilience in the face of adversity.
Through grassroots efforts and innovative solutions, local partners have the potential to make a tangible difference in enhancing the adaptive capacity of pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities. Together, we can forge a path towards a more sustainable and climate-resilient future for all those who call the Horn of Africa home.
Let us stand united in our commitment to combatting the impacts of climate change, forging partnerships, and fostering community resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
Together, we can create a brighter and more sustainable future for generations to come.
