Resume

The project will target the most vulnerable families in 5 villages in Soola & Ayn region, where displaced people gathered in camps. Each village will recieve 210 barrels of water and 700 HH in each village will receive a one-time cash 100 usd transferred through mobilpay system “ZAAD”. Cash Based Assiistance intervention is more efficient and transparent. The reason why Dansomala has chosen these villages is that they have been affected by the shocks inherited from below-avarage and no rain in Gu' rainy season (apr-jun). There are a lot of the households displaced in the current drought and other households that have sold their assets during the severe drought shocks are facing food consumption gaps. These families need urgent help with food, water, and medicine. Cash Based Assistance will help the families the opportunity to prioritize their needs. Dansomala/Badbaado have implemented 2 CBA intervention the last 2 years. Dansomala/Badbaado has agreement with TELESOM ZAAD service.
