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 Covid19 protection kits and 210 barrels of water. 900 HH will receive a one-time cash 100 usd transferred through mobilpay system “ZAAD”. Cash Based 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 prolonged recurring droughts and there a lot of the households displaced in the current drought calamities 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. TELESOM ZAAD service has already confirmed per email to support Dansomala/Badbaado with this Bilk Cash Transfer via ZAAD.
