Where We Work
Somali Aid operates in Kenya and Somalia where we send our specialists and provide children and their families at risk with medical, nutritional and social care. We have more than 100 workers in both Kenya and Somalia.
Where Does the Money Go?
Your money is used where it should be – for implementation and operation of humanitarian and development projects and for saving lives of children and their families in Somalia and Kenya.
Contributions from private donors are the most important income for us. They enable us to provide help quickly, independently from grants and other contributions from the governmental institutions. Efficiency and transparency are especially important to us. Somali Aid does not waste the finances for running big offices or for image campaigns.
We are transparent – each donor who registers on our website will receive a regular monthly overview about how the donations are being used.
