Hargeisa and nearby communities
Operational proximity helps establish strong documentation, follow-up and a project record that can be reviewed.
Al-Awn Charity OrganisationWhere we work
Where we work03
We begin with need, not the size of the map.
We are based in Hargeisa and select locations through need, safe access and our ability to follow up. We do not place a location on the public map before a project is evidenced there.
Our access model
A decision map before a project map.
Every opportunity is tested against three dimensions: the severity of the gap, access risk and whether the service or asset can endure after handover.
02
Drought-exposed rural communities
Priority for drought-resilient water linked to education and livelihoods where assessment confirms the need.
03
Highest-need locations
Expansion requires access risk review, local relationships and a practical monitoring plan.
Before approving a location
Five questions that stop vague promises.
These are operating priorities, not claims of completed projects in every location.
- 01What evidence demonstrates the need?
- 02Who is least able to access alternatives?
- 03Can we reach and monitor safely?
- 04Who will maintain the service or asset?
- 05What evidence will we publish?
Aid that reaches. Impact that lasts.
Local delivery strength. Reporting that meets the funder.
