Horn Relief
Horn Relief is an African led international organization that was established in 1991 in response to Somalia's devastating humanitarian crisis and civil war. Since then, Horn Relief has grown from a small grassroots organization to one that is able to advocate for and leverage much-needed resources to its partner communities, and to build the capacity of up-coming grassroots groups in Somalia. Horn Relief has worked with Somali communities in four main areas to form a holistic approach to community development: natural resource management, human health, animal health, and leadership development. In addition to these on-going areas of concern, Horn Relief has also implemented a range of emergency programs in the last several years, including cash-based programs, construction and rehabilitation of water facilities, and provision of water trucking.
