ABOUT THE CRISIS

The drought in Mandera is not just about lack of rain. It is a full-scale humanitarian emergency affecting health, safety, education, and survival.

  • Clean water is no longer available in many villages

  • Livestock — families’ main source of food and income — are dying

  • Malnutrition among children and mothers is rising rapidly

  • Schools are struggling to keep children learning

  • Women and girls face increased hardship and protection risks

Without urgent support, this drought will turn into a humanitarian catastrophe.

BEYOND EMERGENCY RELIEF

Relief Today. Resilience for Tomorrow.

We believe communities should not face the same crisis again and again. Alongside emergency aid, we invest in long-term solutions that strengthen resilience:

  • Sustainable water systems

  • Climate-resilient livelihoods

  • Community-led drought preparedness

  • Training and local capacity building

Our goal is not only to help families survive today — but to help them thrive tomorrow.

Our Goal

Our goal is to save lives, reduce suffering, and help communities in Mandera County withstand the impacts of drought and food insecurity — today and in the future.

We work to ensure that vulnerable families have access to clean water, nutritious food, protected livelihoods, and essential support during times of crisis, while also strengthening their ability to adapt, recover, and thrive despite climate challenges.

By combining emergency response with long-term resilience building, Naisim Foundation strives to break the cycle of repeated humanitarian crises and create a future where communities are safer, stronger, and self-reliant
