Somalia has been ravaged by war for decades now. It also lies on semi-arid land that reduces the potential of inhabitants to make a decent living from the soil. The population, especially women and children have suffered greatly with such worries as poverty and disease. A lot of Humanitarian Relief Somalia efforts have been organized for willing participants. How can you participate and change the lives of these people from miles away?
Donations can be sent directly to organizations working with Somalis on the ground. These donations come in the form of food stuff, clothing, shoes and other supplies that can be used directly. Because of the dire situation, old clothes and shoes can be donated as long as they are in wearable state. There are drop-off points that can be used for this purpose run by different organizations. .
Cash donations are also welcome. The donations can be made online or using credit cards. You can also make bank transfers to accounts provided by the organizations providing this support. There are numerous fund raising opportunities on social media and internet space that you can participate in. Such efforts allow the organizers to identify the items that are most needed and also fund logistical issues.
Drop off points at malls and shopping points offer another opportunity for people wishing to donate. The idea is to buy something extra for the affected Somalis when you are doing own shopping. The items may actually be bought and dropped at the collection bag or paid for to be collected later. The organizers can change the items based on their value to enable them buy what the people need most.
There are activities hosted by charity organizations aimed at raising funds. The events include marathons, art exhibitions and galleries, dinners, walks, marathons and concerts, among others. These events are open to individuals and corporate organizations. By purchasing merchandise for these events, including caps and t-shirts, you will be supporting their activities.
Organizations are open to the idea of volunteers visiting the country. The country is in need of doctors, teachers, and other staffs to support humanitarian efforts by relief organizations. Beyond sending your donation, you have the perfect opportunity to experience the real situation on the ground.
Offer logistical support to organizations helping people in Somalia. They require people to mobilize for events, perform administrative work, help in collecting donations and packaging, among other skills. When you volunteer for a few hours, it will save the organizations money that can be put into buying supplies. Corporate organizations participate by acting as collection points, sponsoring volunteers, publicizing events and other ways that an organization chooses.
There are campaigns that are not genuine and are therefore used by individuals for personal gratification. Check whether the activity you are participating in has been licensed and if the organization has real footing in Somalia. This is the only assurance you will have that your donations are going to the intended persons.
