Donor: Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) – Humanitarian Funds
Implementing Partner: Daryeel Bulsho Guud (DBG)
Project Duration: June – November 2025
Project Target
Following the devastating May 2025 flash floods, the project targeted flood-affected internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Kaxda and Deynile Districts, Banadir Region. Priority was given to women, children, and persons with disabilities, who faced heightened health, protection, and dignity risks due to displacement and damaged infrastructure.
Project Impact
With support from Norwegian Church Aid and implementation by Daryeel Bulsho Guud (DBG), the project delivered life-saving, dignity-centered assistance to 11,338 people in some of the most flood-affected communities. The response significantly reduced public health risks while restoring safety, dignity, and stability for families living in overcrowded displacement settings.
Key Results
- Improved Health and Hygiene:
Through the distribution of 500 hygiene kits and a three-month hygiene promotion campaign reaching 1,800 households, families gained essential supplies and practical knowledge to protect their health. Communities adopted safer hand-washing and water-handling practices, reducing the spread of waterborne diseases and improving daily living conditions in IDP camps. - Safe and Inclusive Sanitation:
The construction of 75 emergency latrines, including disability-accessible facilities, restored access to safe sanitation for more than 2,250 people. This intervention reduced open defecation, improved privacy, and strengthened protection particularly for women, girls, and persons with disabilities while reinforcing dignity and community well-being. - Reliable Access to Clean Water:
By rehabilitating one solar-powered borehole and reactivating four water kiosks, the project ensured sustainable access to safe water for over 5,000 people. The improved water supply reduced household water costs, lowered disease risks, and eased the daily burden on women and children responsible for water collection. - Dignity and Protection for Women and Girls:
The distribution of 300 dignity kits enabled women and girls to manage personal hygiene safely and confidently, reducing exposure to gender-based violence (GBV) risks and harmful coping strategies. Beyond immediate relief, the support strengthened women’s autonomy, safety, and dignity in humanitarian settings. - Strengthened Local Response:
Implemented by Daryeel Bulsho Guud (DBG) in close coordination with Banadir Regional Administration (BRA), local authorities and humanitarian clusters, the project strengthened local leadership and response capacity. This locally led approach contributed to a more effective, accountable, and sustainable humanitarian response, while advancing localization in emergency action.
