Shelter & Non-Food Items

HCR's Commitment to Shelter and Essential NFIs Support in Somalia

At HCR (Horn Climate Resilience), we are dedicated to providing life-saving shelter and essential non-food items (NFIs) to vulnerable communities in Somalia. Our Shelter & NFIs program is designed to address the critical needs of displaced populations—particularly those affected by conflict, natural disasters, and other crises—by ensuring they have access to safe shelter and basic necessities during emergencies.

In collaboration with local partners, government authorities, and humanitarian agencies, HCR delivers timely and effective assistance that helps affected families regain their dignity and restore a sense of normalcy. We focus not only on immediate relief but also on promoting long-term solutions that enhance community resilience and recovery.

Key Highlights of Our Shelter & NFI Program:

Emergency Shelter Assistance:
When crises lead to displacement, access to safe and secure shelter is a top priority. HCR provides emergency shelter kits that include essential materials such as tarpaulins, ropes, and basic tools for constructing temporary shelters. We also offer technical support to help displaced families build and reinforce their shelters, ensuring they are protected from the elements and can rebuild their lives with dignity.

Transitional Shelter Solutions:
In addition to emergency shelter, HCR works to provide transitional shelter solutions for displaced communities. These shelters offer a more stable living environment while remaining adaptable to changing circumstances. By focusing on durable materials and community-driven construction processes, we ensure that families have safe spaces to live in while more permanent housing solutions are being explored.

Distribution of Non-Food Items (NFIs):
Beyond shelter, HCR's NFI assistance is vital in meeting the basic needs of displaced and vulnerable populations. Our NFI distributions include essential household items such as blankets, cooking sets, jerry cans, solar lamps, and hygiene supplies. These items are carefully selected to ensure that families have the necessary tools to maintain basic living standards, stay healthy, and protect themselves from harsh conditions.

Community-Based Shelter Solutions:
HCR is committed to empowering local communities to take ownership of their recovery. Through community-led shelter reconstruction initiatives, we engage affected populations in rebuilding efforts, fostering resilience and ensuring that solutions are tailored to their specific needs. By involving community members in the design and construction of shelters, we promote sustainability and cultivate a sense of pride and belonging.

Shelter Risk Reduction and Capacity Building:
To mitigate risks associated with future disasters, HCR integrates disaster risk reduction measures into its shelter programs. We conduct training and workshops to raise awareness of safe construction practices, hazard identification, and community-based disaster preparedness. By building local capacity, we aim to reduce vulnerability and strengthen community resilience in SWS, Somalia.

Our Impact:
HCR's Shelter & NFI program has positively impacted thousands of displaced individuals and families in SWS, Somalia, offering them safety, security, and hope during times of crisis. By addressing the urgent need for shelter and essential items, we are not only saving lives but also contributing to the long-term recovery and well-being of the communities we serve.
