Adeso – Somalia received a $450,000 grant to provide 20,000 people with increased access to water for drought relief and to mitigate the risk of the spread of COVID-19 in water-scarce communities in northern Somalia, resulting in safe and clean water that will improve food security and livelihoods outcomes, aid in better sanitation and hygiene practices, and reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.

C2C received an additional $50,000 grant from CDP’s Global Hunger Crisis and Global Recovery Funds to allow local C2C staff and communities to continue implementing a Survivor and Community Led Response (SCLR) approach in highly food-insecure regions of Ethiopia. Co-funded by our peer funding partner and fellow champion of mutual aid, Legatum, this grant builds on the community learning, impact, connections and gains made through CDP and C2C’s initial project partnership, facilitating community-level dialogue on the most important needs and issuing small grants to worthy community-identified and led projects.
