Somali Helping Hands Association (SOHHA) is a local, non-profit, non-governmental, and non-sectarian organization established and managed by Somali professionals. The organization was conceptualized in mid-2014 and officially launched in January 2018 following broad consultations with community stakeholders in Bakool Region, including traditional leaders, business leaders, women groups, youth, and religious scholars. SOHHA was founded to respond to humanitarian and development challenges affecting vulnerable populations, particularly internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, refugees, and host communities. The organization delivers professional, community-driven services aimed at improving livelihoods, health, education, food security, and environmental sustainability. With its roots in Bakool Region, SOHHA works to transform the region’s image from one of persistent humanitarian crisis to a region in transition toward resilience, self-reliance, and sustainable development. The organization operates across multiple districts in Southwest and Hirshabelle States of Somalia, implementing integrated programs in health, nutrition, water and sanitation, education, livelihoods, agriculture, and emergency response. Guided by principles of transparency, accountability, community participation, and sustainability, SOHHA collaborates closely with local communities, authorities, and development partners to ensure effective and lasting impact.
