About Al-Awn01
Our proximity to people is our greatest asset.
Al-Awn is a locally led humanitarian and development organisation founded in Hargeisa to reach vulnerable communities with closer response and solutions that endure beyond a relief moment.
A world where every person has the opportunities and resources needed for a dignified, independent life.
Our story starts locally
From Hargeisa, across Somaliland.
Founded in 2024, Al-Awn is built on a simple belief: field proximity is the basis for understanding need, responding faster and building trust with communities and donors alike.
