Overview

Somali Community Concern (SCC) is a national voluntary, non-governmental, non-political, non-partisan, and nonprofit making organization operating in the field of emergency response and developmental programs supporting the community’s basic and social needs and paying crucial services. SCC was established in Mogadishu in 2003 by a group of Somali academicians and intellectuals who served voluntarily to save the lives of Somali people who have been engulfed in tremendous crises for the last 29 years in Somalia. The organization has carried out software and hardware projects that have successfully translated the perfect needs of the community. SCC has implemented 74 emergency and sustainability developmental projects that have revived the hopes of many desperate women, children, IDPs, and poor hosting communities through the provision of Food Relief Programme, Shelter/NFI, WASH, Health, Protection, Education, Human rights and Peace Building. The projects had positive impacts on the target communities and many of them improved their life. The organization aims also to empower youth and develop practitioners to eradicate poverty, illiteracy, and numeracy in the target people contributing to peace and conflict resolution and developing programs by providing access to Education, Health, Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), Community Empowerment, livelihood improvement, Awareness raising, Networking and advocating voiceless people. Projects are coordinated through a liaison office in Kenya and the main office in Somalia. Our programs are implemented with support from various partners including SFG line ministries, Somali Federal Government member states, UNICEF, UNOCHA/SHF, UN-HABITAT, HRF, IOM, USAID, INTERSOS, NRC, and UNFPA.
