Our Programs
Being a women-led, community-driven organization dedicated to transforming the lives of Somalia’s most vulnerable populations. We reach communities through integrated programs in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), Education in Emergencies, Protection, Health and Nutrition, and Gender Equality, we address both immediate humanitarian needs and long-term development challenges. By fostering social cohesion, building community resilience, and advocating for inclusive governance, we empower marginalized groups to access their rights, improve their livelihoods, and thrive in a more equitable society. PMWDO’s work is rooted in sustainability, inclusivity, and a commitment to leaving no one behind.
We provide sustainable access to clean water, build sanitation infrastructure (latrines, boreholes), and promote hygiene practices to prevent disease outbreaks in vulnerable communities, including IDPs and drought-affected populations.
We ensure crisis-affected children, especially girls and those with disabilities, continue learning through school rehabilitation, inclusive education programs, and distribution of learning materials and meals.
We safeguard women, girls, and minorities by offering GBV survivor support, legal aid, and child protection services, while establishing safe spaces and accountability mechanisms in IDP camps.
We improve living conditions in IDP camps by coordinating services, installing solar lighting, and empowering camp committees to address residents’ needs.
Food Security and Livelihoods
We build resilience against climate shocks by training communities in sustainable farming, income generation, and forming resilience committees for collective action.
Advocacy and Minority Inclusion
We amplify minority voices through fellowships in local government, legal aid, and campaigns to ensure equitable resource allocation and rights protection.
Health and Nutrition
We improve maternal and child health through outreach programs, micronutrient distribution, and training health workers to combat malnutrition and reduce preventable deaths.
Gender Equality and Women’s Rights
We combat harmful practices like FGM through community dialogues, advocate for women’s participation in governance, and empower girls with menstrual hygiene resources.
Peaceful Co-existence and Social Cohesion
We bridge divides between IDPs and host communities through sports, cultural events, and youth empowerment, fostering trust and collaborative problem-solving.
