Help Provide Aid to Families in Need
Somalia is facing the worst drought in decades, putting the lives of millions in danger
Somalia is experiencing a severe drought, leaving millions in urgent need of help. According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), prolonged dry spells have devastated communities across the country.
Around 2.5 million people across 26 districts are living in areas that are moderately or severely affected.
For families in Somalia, every day is a fight for survival. With limited access to clean water, food, and livelihoods, many face hunger and displacement.
Children are especially vulnerable to malnutrition and disease as the drought continues to affect millions.
Muslim Hands teams are on the ground in Somalia, delivering life-saving assistance.
We are providing emergency food packs to those most in need.
Your Sadaqah and Zakat can help bring relief to drought-affected families, providing nourishment, restoring hope, and saving lives.

Life in an IDP Camp: Boolo's Story
Boolo and her family once lived in Lower Shabelle, a fertile region in southern Somalia. But years of severe drought destroyed their crops and killed their livestock, wiping out their only source of income.
With nothing left, the family tried to survive by working on other people’s farms in a nearby village 8 km away. Eventually, they moved to Mogadishu, joining Boolo’s brother in an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp to seek humanitarian assistance.
Today, Boolo works as a domestic helper, earning less than $3 a day as she struggles to feed her family. Conditions in Mogadishu’s IDP camps are dire - families like Boolo’s face life without reliable access to food, clean water, or healthcare.
Your Zakat and Sadaqah can provide essentials to those in desperate need, helping families like Boolo’s rebuild their lives.
