History
editThe Somali Relief and Development Society was founded in 2006 during the civil war in Somalia. It emerged as a response to the humanitarian crisis and the need for assistance in the war-torn country. SORDES aimed to provide relief aid and support to communities affected by conflict, poverty, and natural disasters.[1]
Over the years, SORDES has expanded its scope to include not only emergency relief efforts but also long-term development projects. These projects often focus on areas such as healthcare, education, water and sanitation, livelihoods, and community empowerment. SORDES has faced numerous challenges in its operations due to the complex socio-political situation in Somalia, including insecurity, instability, and access issues.[2]
These challenges, SORDES has remained committed to its mission of improving the lives of people in Somalia and contributing to the country's development. It has collaborated with various international organizations, donors, and local partners to implement its programs effectively and efficiently.[3]
