Rebuild Lives through Livelihood Support

When displaced people return to their homes, they face a huge challenge to rebuild their lives. African Relief Fund (ARF) assists displaced people through Income Generation Projects. By gaining a livelihood, people can start becoming independent again and working to improve life standards for themselves and their families.

Conflict, extreme weather conditions, or natural disasters are numerous reasons people may lose or be forced to flee their homes. But no matter the causes or circumstances, most displaced people will return to their homeland if they can. Launched in Somalia in 2012, we’ve empowered hundreds of people with skills and an opportunity to help them start over.

Empowering Women Through Skills Training

ARF’s Income Generation Programme prioritises women, as they are eager to learn and start earning as soon as possible so that they can feed and clothe their families. Our seamstress training project equips needy women in rural villages of Somalia with sewing skills. Once their training is complete, we provide the women with sewing machines and the raw materials they need to start working from home.

Empowering Subsistence Farmers

ARF works to empower small farmers by providing them with start-up materials and farming equipment to improve their productivity and yield.

We loan farmers tractors, allowing them to sow or plough their fields in a fraction of the time and without having to rely on other members of the family. We also donate chickens to farming families and the necessary skills and equipment to start a poultry farm.

Thank you from Balanbale (Galgadud Region, Somalia)

To date, we’ve provided sewing skills training to 30 needy women. Once they’d completed their training, the women were equipped with sewing machines and everything they needed to start their tailoring businesses. Today, these women produce school uniforms for the children of Balanbale. They’re able to earn an income and support their families with dignity.
