Introduction and Background

Save the Children in Somalia (SCI) has been operational in Somaliland/Somalia for over 40 years, with programs covering several sectors (WASH, Food Security and Livelihoods, Health, Nutrition, Education, and Shelter, with Disaster Risk Reduction and Child Protection mainstream where possible). Save the Children currently has 15 field offices and programs in Central South Somalia, Somaliland and Puntland.
