Humanity Action Network (HANET) organization’s work in Somalia and Kenya is anchored on a programming approach that recognizes the essence of the communities taking leadership in their own development. This enables us to serve humanity, reduce poverty and mitigate suffering of marginalized Somali communities and further restore hope by providing relief and development based humanitarian services.
Livelihoods
Humanity Action Network (HANET) Builds a community assets and create safety nets which enables the beneficiaries to withstand the effects of recurring disasters. Our wash, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programming consists of a set of integrated interventions aimed at increasing accessibility and availability of safe portable water through rehabilitation, drilling of borehole wells and hand dug wells. These initiatives result in long term impacts that are related to relief and development of marginalized and vulnerable communities resulting in sustainable positive change that include diversification of livelihood and improved sanitation facilities for primary school education.
Priorities
HANET Promotes sustainable water supply systems. Scale up hygiene and sanitation efforts for improved community health. We address this through the resilience programming in supporting large water capacity water points and ensuring the existing boreholes are functional. However, as Somali continues to stabilize, the traditional water emergency support also needs to be transformed to development-oriented activities.
