VULNERABLE ACTION AID

Vulnerable Action Aid is a humanitarian, non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in Mogadishu City in 2011 with the aim of helping the destitute Somali population who suffered long time of conflict and other natural disasters. VAA fulfils its mandate by providing direct assistance to conflict and drought affected populations, internally displaced people (IDPs) and host communities in the conflict areas in Somali on the basis of humanitarian principles and the Human Rights Declaration. The organization main offices are in Mogadishu, Afgoa L/Shebelle and Kismayo of L/Juba regions with sub offices in Luuq and Garbaharey Gedo and other District. As indigenous professionals on humanitarian sectors and capacity buildings, they felt that there is an argent need to interventions and they had the ability to access the grass roots and act as a bridge between the suffering and desperate local communities and the UN agencies, International organizations, well wishers and charities that are willing to help the Somali people. This was the philosophy behind the establishment of Vulnerable Action Aid of Somalia.
