Help a Child works in Somalia to improve the health, nutrition, safety and well-being of vulnerable children and their families. We partner with Medair and 3 local organisations to deliver a holistic Health, Wash and Nutrition response that adresses immediate health risks while strengthening community capacity. 

Rather than addressing needs in isolation, our programmes connect water, health, nutrition, sanitation, and protection to create lasting impact for children and their families living in fragile settings. By working closely with local communities, we aim to reach vulnerable households and strengthen their ability to protect and care for their children.
