Climate Change
The Somali Women and Child Care Association is a non-governmental organization based in Somalia that focuses on addressing various social issues, including climate change.
Our organization recognizes the importance of climate change and its impact on vulnerable communities, especially women and children.
SWCCA works towards several objectives related to climate change.
Firstly, it aims to raise awareness among local communities about the causes and consequences of climate change. This includes educating women and children about sustainable practices and climate-resilient livelihood options.
Additionally, the association promotes advocacy activities to ensure that the voices of Somali women and children are heard in climate change policy-making processes.
We work towards ensuring that policies and strategies are gender-responsive and address the specific needs and vulnerabilities of women and children in the context of climate change.
The organization also engages in community-based initiatives to mitigate the effects of climate change.
These initiatives could include promoting renewable energy sources, promoting sustainable agriculture practices, community anticipatory action and encouraging afforestation campaigns.
Furthermore, the Somali Women and Child Care Association collaborates with other local and international organizations to support and implement projects related to climate change adaptation.
This could involve providing training and capacity building for women and children, as well as implementing sustainable and climate-friendly projects at the community level.
Overall, the Somali Women and Child Care Association recognizes the intersectionality of climate change and gender issues.
By working on climate change in Somalia, the association aims to empower and uplift women and children, ensuring their resilience and well-being in the face of climate challenges.
