The global coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19), internally displaced people are especially at risk.

The global coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19), internally displaced people are especially at risk. Whether they were forced to flee from their homes because of conflict, violence or disasters, thousands of IDPs in Mogadishu live in densely populated areas, are unable to self-isolate, and lack of access to water, sanitation and basic healthcare.

Habiba Abukar Ibrahim a 25 years old married and a mother of 4 kids in Daynile district Mogadishu. She is one of the internally displaced persons in Naciim IDP settlement in Deynile district, Mogadishu, Somalia. She and her family displaced from Boidoa in 2018 due to droughts and conflicts.

Habiba lives on casual labor by washing clothes for other families to earn some income to survive her and family "but since this Corona virus disease started, people are afraid; they do not allow us to enter their homes.” She said.

Her husband does not go for work due to COVID-19 pandemic; her husband used to work as porter in the Market but now he usually stays home for the sake of COVID-19 affected in the business.

"I first heard in the Radio early in 2020 about CORONA VIRUS but I did not know all about it before SCC Staff Hygiene promoters came to our camp to raise awareness”

Habiba is one of the people that had chance to meet SCC hygiene promoters and participated some awareness campaigns in the IDP settlement. "Now I understand that COVID is high risk to ourselves and community and I know symptoms and prevention of COVID-19 and can help my family and community to prevent COVID 19, it’s difficult for us as IDP family to make self-distance due to congested makeshift houses, we are not able to adequate access to health services to get CORONA tests or treatment in the IDPs but I encourage my loved one to use frequent hand washing and face masks to my family and community as well”.

"SCC distributed us soap, hand washing stations and free water to our IDP settlement thanks to SCC and SHF” she added.

"The COVID-19 can affect anyone in the IDP camps and all humanitarian agencies help us to mitigate the Corona virus by sustaining the awareness raising and preventive mechanisms of the virus” she recommended,

Commitment: Those we serve come first in everything we do. We champion the realization of their full potential to lead fulfilling lives and contribute meaningfully to society.
Results orientation: We are driven by the changes and impacts we exist to create. We are committed to providing timely and high-quality solutions and services.

Competence: We are committed to acquire, develop and retain the highest possible quality personnel as a basis of assuring the best organizational performance and standards.
Creativity and innovation: We are committed to ensuring a work environment that encourages innovativeness and embraces new ideas and technologies to make our work more effective.

Areas of intervention

SCC is implementing software and hardware programs in the areas of WASH, Protection, GBV, food security, conflict resolution and peacebuilding, and Education.

Our local and international partners, with whom we have created real sustainable work; our workers, local and expatriates, who often cooperate with us for decades; the final beneficiaries of the interventions; local and international authorities; friends and supporters.

Over the years we have developed projects in a whole range of sectors: such as Health care and Nutrition, Vocational Training, Primary Education, Protection, and Environmental Sustainability, WASH programs for IDPs and poor hosting communities to increasingly complex and innovative projects – economic projects; support to small and medium organizations and Cooperatives; Capacity Building of institutions, both public and created by local civil society; protection of human rights; habitat and territory.

We also learned to deal with humanitarian aid and emergency (environmental and social) and with the security issues that these interventions require. We currently read development projects as opportunity and sustainable.

With conviction and pragmatism, we want to go beyond the logic of gift whenever the conditions of the communities we work with permit this approach: in Somalia and in the neighboring countries our partners ask for a real partnership. This means accepting with the courage to overturn our role.
