Zakat Foundation of America donors and relief specialists have played a crucial role in Somalia. Relief work in Somalia is exceedingly difficult given its ongoing internal conflicts, but mostly from the external violence constantly wreaked on its deeply impoverished, displaced, and now often nomadic population.
In these desperate circumstances, our Emergency Relief efforts help the people of Somalia cope with the combination of human-engineered catastrophe, including famine, and natural disasters, highlighted by massive drought and a recent unprecedented invasion of locusts.
