Caritas Somalia Details
Caritas Somalia is a Member Organization of Caritas Internationalis and forms part of the Caritas MONA network. It was established in 1980 as a response to the amount of refugees in need from the "Ogaden war" in Mogadishu. From then, it's been working all over Somalia directly or indirectly, mainly to respond to catastrophes such as drought, famine and armed conflict. Caritas Somalia's work focuses on the following areas:• Migrants and IDPs: Caritas Somalia works with Internally Displaced People in Somaliland and Baidoa, Southern-Somalia, providing education, nutrition and access to health.In Bossaso, Puntland, Caritas together with its partner Perigeo NGO, built a fishing school to benefit 8,000 families and contribute to the development of the fishing sector in Puntland.
