Important withdrawal and delivery information:

Thank you for the immense support. We are on the verge of hitting $40k, quadrupling our original goal of $10k. I am pleased to let you know that I am flying to the affected region this coming Thursday November 7th. Therefore, I will immediately request a withdrawal from the go fund me account and transfer the funds to a personal account. I will then make arrangements to move the funds there so it reaches in time to coincide with my arrival. 

Once i I reach the final destination  after many hours of travel, I plan to convene a focus group from the leaders of the impacted communities in order to determine the best way to disperse the funds based on their hierarchy of needs. I will keep you updated about the progress as frequently as possible and will provide a final report of the entire process. Due to logistical and security issues, I may lose access to internet service occasionally. Please stay tuned for more updates.

**Update** We have surpassed our goals 2wice!

However, due to to an overwhelming support and equally overwhelming need on part of the flood victims, we have updated the new goal to $35,000. This campaign will continue to remain open beyond this goal if the demand for the platform continues. 


Assalama Aleykum-

I regret to ask for  your help again, but this is an urgent humanitarian matter which is currently unfolding in the City of Beledweyne in South-Central Somalia, my hometown.  As many of you already know, there had been devastating recurring floods. Last major floods like this one displaced as many as hundred thousand (100,000) of its residents. This is the third major flood since 2016. Local news sources are reporting that the devastation has reached levels never seen before. Both in 2018 and in 2016, the city had two massive flood; both tragedies, there were numerous deaths, followed by widespread outbreak of cholera, malaria and other infectious illnesses. It is likely this will be case again this time time around as well unless these impacts are mitigated.


I am asking your help to contribute anything you can and help us raise enough money to rent a few water tankers for these needy families. I recommend you to contribute anything you have, $100+, $50, $20, $10, $5 or any amount. Anything will help; I want everyone in my network to participate. Even if a fraction of my friends give the minimal amount, we will reach our goal in no time. The goal is to raise at least $10,000 as soon as we can, and send it to the Chairman of Hirshabelle Youth Organization Muhammad Abdullahi Buraale (Raaxeeye. The Chairman estimated that with this amount of funds, we can supply clean water and other essential needs for about 300 to 500 families within the next few weeks while floods subside. 

I am currently acting as the unofficial diaspora outreach person for the Hirshabelle Youth. If you have any questions about this efforts or would like to join forces with us, please feel free to email me @ [email redacted]
