Let girls dream. Let girls thrive!

October 11, marks The International Day of the Girl Child. The day focuses on the needs and challenges girls face, and promotes their empowerment, and the fulfillment of their human rights.
Among other things, child marriage hinders a girl from achieving her dreams, pursuing her education, securing her future, and protecting her health and safety. On this International Day of the Girl Child, we advocate for every girl child to attain:
• Access to quality #education
• Protection from violence and harmful practices
• Opportunities to lead and achieve their dreams
Freedom to learn. Freedom to grow. Every girl deserves the power to write her own future, as it is the foundation for a stronger and safer world. Let’s stand together to amplify their voices, break down barriers, and create a world where every girl thrives!

Establishing the Cross-Border Network: Pastoralist CBOs Partner for Peace and Resource Sustainability in Moyale

The Establishment of the Cross-Border Network of Pastoralist CBOs and Forum on the Peaceful and Sustainable Use of Shared Natural Resources was realized as a result of a forum that was conducted in Moyale, Ethiopia, from 22–24 September 2026.
Organized by AFD and PACIDA, in partnership with Welthungerhilfe, under the SRAPLEA III initiative, the forum brought together pastoralist communities, CBOs, government bodies, and other development actors from the Borana Zone of Ethiopia and Marsabet County of Kenya. It was aimed at strengthening cross-border collaboration, peaceful coexistence, and advance the sustainable use of shared natural resources. Moreover, the forum would help to empower pastoralists, amplify their voice, and advocate for their collective rights.
Together for resilient, peaceful, and sustainable pastoral communities.

Rebuilding Life: Hope and Clean Water Restored for IDPs in East Borana

When inter-communal conflict displaced over 267,000 people along the Oromia-Somali border, families in Arero and Dhas woredas of East Borana Zone descended from self-sufficiency to fighting for basic survival in overcrowded IDP sites.

For 30-years-old Tume Sodhobicha Chachu, a mother of six living in the Urgo IDP site, the violence took away her family’s livestock, home, and security. “We went from a stable life to sleeping in the open, exposed to the cold and rain,” she recalls.

A vital emergency intervention by Action For Development (AFD) and Welthungerhilfe (WHH) brought a turning point to their plight. Across the two districts, the emergency response reached 3334 displaced households (16,670 people) by delivering the following items:
  • Shelter & Comfort: 3834 plastic sheet and 3334 shelter fixing ropes to protect families from harsh weather, alongside essential bedding kits such as 7168 blankets and 6668 mats.
  • Household Essentials: 33,340 pieces of cooking pots, plates, cups, kettles, and ladles to help families restore daily routines.
  • WASH & Hygiene: 867,600 water purification chemicals, 3334 buckets, 3334 washing basins, 50,010 body soap, 50,010 laundry soap and 6668 jerry cans to prevent waterborne illnesses.
  • Clean Water Access: Rehabilitation of two local hand-dug pumps and solarization of bore hall to provide safe drinking water for both communities and livestock.

By prioritizing women, elders, and people with disabilities, the project ensured the most vulnerable people received dignified support. Today, families like Tume’s have secure shelter and access to clean water—giving them the foundation they need to rebuild their lives.
