Is Bedel Village - Create Change

Donation protected


IsBedel village is home to 2000 people including women and children. The community in this IDP camp outside of Garowe city in Somalia has been displaced by war, famine and poverty. The resilient people of Is Bedel Camp have endured so many challenges. They have been moving around inside Somalia for the last twenty-seven years due to war and its aftermath. Mothers who were teenagers at the start of the Somali war in 1991 are now grand mothers seeing their daughters repeat the same horrific cycle of poverty. Now that same grandmother is witnessing her grand daughter being born into the same poverty as her and her daughter she knows change is needed...change in the Somali language is IsBedel. We are setting this page to bring about sustainable, stable and productive change in this IsBedel Village that is the name the residents picked for the camp.

As a village we have decided to build our own bathrooms to practice good hygiene and good environmental awareness.

There are so many needs for the community of resilient women, children and men who have stayed with their families despite their meager earnings. As lovers of Humanity we chose to tell the gorgeous stories, the resilient stories of the people of IsBedel Village. We want to see small children flourish with the best education. So help us build the first IsBedel School. We want to champion the earing of children left behind in the IDP camp. There are given no chance to learn. Their parents are in poverty but their mind and their dreams will not be stopped by poverty. Please help us teach our children at the Is Bedel Village.

Our relationship to IsBedel Village:
