Health and Livelihood Development

Building Healthier and More Resilient Communities Across Somalia

Access to quality healthcare and sustainable livelihoods is essential for Somalia’s long-term development. Somali Family Services (SFS) is committed to improving public health outcomes and enhancing economic opportunities for vulnerable communities, particularly women, youth, and internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Through a combination of health awareness programs, micro-financing initiatives, vocational training, and community-driven interventions, SFS is working to create a healthier, self-reliant, and economically empowered society.
