SUPPORTING INTERNALLY DISPLACED PEOPLE

Support to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)

MAGAN works in three IDP communities in Somaliland, including Idaan IDP Camp, IMAAN IDP Camp, and the drought-affected area of Baliga-Maxamed Daud. Through community-based interventions, MAGAN has supported more than 1,000 households with essential humanitarian and livelihood assistance.

Our services in these communities include:

  • Establishment and support of maternal health care services

  • Support for pregnant mothers through access to birthing centers with well-trained midwives

  • Income-generating activities for poor and vulnerable families, including chicken farming initiatives

  • Promotion of safe sanitation services

  • Provision of improved sanitation support to 20 households living with disabilities

  • Community health awareness and protection advocacy

Through these integrated interventions, MAGAN aims to improve maternal health outcomes, enhance household livelihoods, ensure inclusive sanitation services, and strengthen the overall wellbeing of displaced and drought-affected communities.
