INSPIRING COMMUNITIES aimed to rehabilitation 10 water catchment in AdanYabal which was to used to feed the animals in the districts The UNWFP project was a Food For Asset project was aimed at increasing food secured community and also enhancing a communal infrastructure for sustainability .The project saw work Jowhar/Mahaday and beneficiaries befitting with food on monthly basis for 3 months.

HEALTH Health is a very vital element in a society; being an active member in the health cluster and focal person on bay Bakol we have never stopped giving people better and quality health services in the country. ORDO’s establishment in Somalia was shoulder to lean on because the civil wars that destroyed all public infrastructures never left the health facilities this resulted to high mortality rates due to simple diseases which could be cured not leaving the wounded peoples from the war that needed emergency help from the local health workers. Majority of the people died were women and children cause of their weak natures especially the under 5 children and the pregnant women during the pregnancy period and during the process of delivery. After a long discussions with a number of health service providers organisation like WHO,UNICEF we finally reached a solemnly decision to establish a health facility in which was among the districts that were adversely affected by wars. The health facility provided midwifery services for women during delivery, treat minor wounds, provide polio and measles vaccines to children, HIV and AIDS services like VCT to all the community members. This created a relief to the people of 12 because for long time they were under the ruthless rule of Al- shabab who never allowed Humanitarian intervention to the villages of Dayinle District.

INCREASED AREAS OF OPERATION In 2015 ORDO opened offices in Stockholm in Sweden and initiated the process of registering and opening an office in Nairobi, Kenya and Kampala Uganda. We are hopeful that by the end of the year all offices will be operational with a number of project running We also opened a liaison office in Jowhar, of which it will be coordination and response centred feeding the head quarter offices in Mogadishu, with need assessment and calamities like floods and droughts which are always happening in middle Shebelle due to failed rains and heavy rains. A liaison officer was hired to work in the offices in Stockholm and in Jowhar.

CASE STUDY. WFP projects in Somalia have always been creating big impacts to the beneficiaries who participated in the project and the whole community living in the targeted areas where they implement their projects, their implementation methodology has always received an excellent results by enhancing the local

INSPIRING COMMUNITIES communities to decide on what projects among their interventions best suits them.WFP give the community full ownership of the project by giving a local NGO as a cooperating a partner the responsibility of implementing the project for their behalf. For 3 consecutive years WFP and ORDO have partnered to entire that the four pillars of food security are always maintained throughout the years, the inhabitants of Jowhar have been continuously been faced with floods, clan conflicts which has paralyzed most of their livelihoods and enhanced food insecurity in the district, despite Jowhar being one of the food baskets of Somalia. The beginning of 2015,WFP partnered with ORDO implemented a conditional Food project ,Food for Asset in Jowhar/Mahaday districts where 10.5 km river canal was rehabilitated for a period of 3 months with main exchange is food as means of payment. The project was well timed because of the food insecurity and high rate of malnutrition that was being witnessed in the Jowhar. The project had 1614 participants and 9684 beneficiaries who were to directly benefiting from the project with indirect beneficiaries increasing the number to almost 5,000 farmers. The river canal which had the main objective of diverting water to people's farms has really increased the farm yields and the road has made the transportation of food easy. ORDO team had a depth interview with Mrs Hawa Abdi who was a participant in FFA project in , She was one of the luckiest members of the selected as beneficiaries in the project, Mrs Hawa Abdi A mother of 4 ,a widow and a household worker at homes in Jowhar district . She couldn't hide her happiness during the interview this was due to the fact that the project changed her life, her children and the community at large .insisted we have the interview at her home so as to be an eye witness at her house. On reaching there we could witness the change that happened at her home, comparing the previous condition at her house before the rehabilitation, The children health conditions also improved, to a greater extent . Our team continued interrogating Mrs Hawa Abdi on how positively the project has impacted her life, She begun by pointing her 3 years old girl who is experiencing the stunted growth, She said before the project she the could predict her baby's death, because her child weight was stunted .this was because the family had no regular food at home, the best the family could have was 2 meals. This was a basic meal was boiled rice. She continued by saying that at times the family could go hungry the whole day because she didn’t find a work therefore no payments, She pointed at a place surrounded by sticks which said it used to be a place where their 5 goats and a camel used to rest,this was the only asset that the family had. She was forced to sell the livestock because she didn't have money to buy food and water from the family. but the money didn't last because no money was saved and food prices were so high in the market, But everything changed when ORDO and WFP came with the food project. She and other village members have largely benefited from the project because the farms will get water from the river and floods will be highly avoided, thus high food productions ,which will result to low food prices thus affordability, stability ,accessibility and stability of food. She continued saying, that the project had given women and opportunity that they had never witnessed in their lives, this was seeing women taking leadership positions, participating in designing a community project, participating in communal project. thus bringing a vital change to the community. Mrs Hawa Abdi also applauded WFP and ORDO for the exemplary implementation of project ,where the community owned the project ad fully participated from the onset of the project to the end, This was vividly shown when the local residents were given leadership roles, He couldn't hide his happiness when he confessed that he had never seen women taking leadership roles but the project changed his perception on women as She didn't believe that women cant execute leadership roles and perfect them, the project indeed made him have respect for women. By giving everyone an equal opportunity to participate in the project it has enhanced social cohesion among the community members as they were able to work together for a period of four months without quarrels and conflicts. The project has provided a regular food in her and her neighbours’ house who have been neglected because of being women led families, She says through her works in the canal she is sure of getting

INSPIRING COMMUNITIES daily food in her house because the food she get at the end of the month fully support the her family for the whole month. The food has largely enhanced the health of her children. She recommended ORDO and WFP to continue supporting the vulnerable communities and also increase the time line of the project ,geographical coverage and number of beneficiaries of the project.
