Somaliland drought relief

Throughout 2022 areas of Somaliland were subject to drought conditions which were subsequently identified as at risk of famine. In response to these conditions, Genel increased its efforts in social investments, which in 2022 totalled $500,000. The first initiative was a drought relief project which distributed drinking water to 99 villages and ultimately benefitted over 118,000 people within our host communities. Following this, a food relief programme successfully delivered food aid to over 2,500 households, and a second larger scale food relief programme was launched at the end of the year which targeted over 6,800 households across 162 villages for provision of emergency food distribution to drought-affected communities.
