Somalia has witnessed one of the longest wars in history running into decades. This is made worse by the fact that the country lies on a semi-arid belt. This makes it impossible for the population to make a living from its soil. People have had to rely on humanitarian relief Somalia efforts by volunteers and well-wishers. While many would love to assist, the opportunities seem to be elusive. How can one participate in alleviating the suffering of the millions of people affected?
There are organizations that collect donations on behalf of the needy Somalis. The donations are usually in form of items that these people need directly. They include shoes, food stuffs, clothing, and sanitary pads, among others. The organizations set up collection points around the country where people can leave their donations. You are only required to ensure that the items donated are in a wearable or helpful condition.
Cash donations are also welcome. The donations can be made online or using credit cards. You can also make bank transfers to accounts provided by the organizations providing this support. There are numerous fund raising opportunities on social media and internet space that you can participate in. Such efforts allow the organizers to identify the items that are most needed and also fund logistical issues.
Drop off points at malls and shopping points offer another opportunity for people wishing to donate. The idea is to buy something extra for the affected Somalis when you are doing own shopping. The items may actually be bought and dropped at the collection bag or paid for to be collected later. The organizers can change the items based on their value to enable them buy what the people need most.
There are activities hosted by charity organizations aimed at raising funds. The events include marathons, art exhibitions and galleries, dinners, walks, marathons and concerts, among others. These events are open to individuals and corporate organizations. By purchasing merchandise for these events, including caps and t-shirts, you will be supporting their activities.
Organizations are open to the idea of volunteers visiting the country. The country is in need of doctors, teachers, and other staffs to support humanitarian efforts by relief organizations. Beyond sending your donation, you have the perfect opportunity to experience the real situation on the ground.
Organizations also welcome logistical support provided by volunteers. These organizations have to hire staff, transport materials and keep their campaigns running. If you can donate a few hours and participate in packaging, office administration, logistical support and any other duty that may be assigned, these organizations will appreciate, beyond saving a lot. They use the savings to enhance their activities. This is a perfect opportunity for corporate brands to donate in kind.
Verify the authenticity of any campaign you wish to participate in. Check whether they have foot on the ground and whether your donations are going into the intended activities. It is disheartening to give to the needy only for the donations to end up in private hands. Even the minutest contribution will be appreciated. Media reports and licenses will help you identify genuine organizations and events.
