About us

Somali Humanitarian Relief Action (SHRA) is one of the National NGOs actively operating in Somalia particularly the southern part of Gedo region. It is non-governmental, non-political, non-partisan and non-profit making organization. 

SHRA was founded in 1993 in Luuq district by a group of Somali intellectuals who put their views, ideas and strength together in order to serve the Somali vulnerable people who have been living in anarchy. 

SHRA has largely worked with local communities in Gedo to improve their social well-being, water and sanitation, building schools, deliver food relief and enhance food security. SHRA has also undertaken successful resettlement programmes for displaced families and extended relief and recovery support for communities making the transition to development. 

Since inception, SHRA has exercised a preferential option for the poor, responding with action to human suffering in Somalia. Over time, we have seen progress in collaboration with international development agencies in trying to improve the lives of Somalis and responding to humanitarian emergencies
