The SANCA Center, based in Mogadishu, continues to provide vital support to persons with disabilities (PWDs) and their families, particularly those headed by women and newly displaced households.
Recently, the center distributed $50 in cash assistance to families of persons with disabilities, many of whom are female-led households and internally displaced people. This support was made possible with contributions from the Hormuud Salaam Foundation, whose commitment to vulnerable communities has made a meaningful difference.
SANCA Center Programs
The center implements several important community programs, including:
TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) workshops to equip PWDs with practical skills for employment and self-reliance.
Farmers’ cooperative programs for PWDs to strengthen agricultural productivity and income generation.
A primary school for children with disabilities, providing Quranic studies and basic primary education to prepare them for admission into formal schools.
The center also operates a workshop kitchen that prepares daily meals for approximately 200 families, with support from the Turkish Red Crescent. Income-generating activities are further supported by local merchants and charitable groups.
During festivals, the center distributes new clothing to both children and adults with disabilities, ensuring they can celebrate with dignity and joy.
