Decades of conflict, displacement, and natural disasters have left over 3.6 million people in Somalia facing acute hunger, with 1.8 million children suffering from malnutrition.

The crisis has been worsened by prolonged droughts, recurring floods, desert locust infestations, and economic instability. The ongoing climate crisis continues to severely impact the Horn of Africa, further exacerbating these challenges.

In response, IDRF has supported 138,261 people with food this year, providing vital aid to families affected across the country.

Yemen remains one of the world's most dire humanitarian crises, with over 17.6 million people struggling with food insecurity, according to the World Food Programme.

Families across the country face immense challenges accessing basic necessities, with economic instability, displacement, and recurring climate shocks leaving millions unable to provide food for their loved ones.

In order to alleviate food insecurity while supporting the local economy, we provided food vouchers to families in Hadhramout. In total, we supported 15,000 people with food aid in Yemen.

According to the UN almost 44% of the population in Pakistan lacks access to safe drinking water.

Climate change has led to erratic rainfall patterns and glacial melt, further straining its water resources. Over-extraction of groundwater and pollution exacerbate the situation, leaving rural communities and urban areas alike struggling for access to clean drinking water. This has led to a steady increase in the risk of waterborne diseases.

Pakistan's per capita water availability has plummeted from 5,000 cubic meters in 1951 to less than 1,000 cubic meters today, signaling an urgent need for conservation and sustainable water management.

To address the pressing water crisis and ensure communities have access to safe drinking water, we are developing sustainable water facilities for households and schools in underserved areas. By combining technology, community involvement, and education, we delivered innovative solutions, and empowered families in Pakistan.

Over half of Chad's population lacks access to clean and safe drinking water, according to the United Nations.

The country faces a severe water crisis driven by persistent scarcity, inadequate access to safe drinking water, and significant challenges in sanitation and hygiene. These issues stem from a combination of factors, including harsh climate conditions and socio-economic challenges. Inadequate water infrastructure, such as a lack of wells and water treatment facilities, increases the risk of waterborne diseases, which further exacerbates the crisis. This disproportionately affects vulnerable groups like women and children, who often spend hours fetching water.

Throughout 2024, we have provided clean water, hygiene, and sanitation services to 59,722 people across Chad, helping alleviate some of these critical challenges.

According to UNFPA Pakistan, every 50 minutes a woman dies due to pregnancy complications. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for accessible and skilled maternal healthcare services.

Many deaths are due to preventable causes such as hemorrhage, sepsis, and obstructed labor, often exacerbated by delays in accessing care in rural and underserved areas. Training midwives is a critical step in addressing this crisis.

Midwives play a vital role in providing prenatal care, managing safe deliveries, and recognizing early signs of complications to ensure timely referrals. They also serve as trusted community health workers, educating families about maternal health and hygiene.

By expanding the midwifery workforce, especially in remote regions, we’re empowering women in Pakistan.

India is facing a significant healthcare crisis, with millions of people, especially in rural areas, lacking access to quality medical care.

The country’s healthcare system is burdened by inadequate infrastructure, an insufficient number of healthcare professionals, and a growing gap between demand and available services.

Our goal is to address these challenges by constructing world-class, well-equipped, multispecialty clinics that bring accessible and affordable healthcare to underserved populations. By providing quality primary health care services, we aim to bridge the gap, ensuring that underserved communities receive the care they need.

Turkiye is home to the largest population of Syrian refugees, facing numerous challenges as they rebuild their lives in a new environment.

With over 3.4 million Syrians now residing in Turkey, the majority live in urban areas alongside other refugee groups in search of safety.

In response to urgent needs for psychosocial support, education, and skill development, essential services have been implemented to assist both refugees and the host community in coping with these challenging circumstances.

Programs focus on creating child-friendly spaces, providing vocational training, and offering language courses, which help build connections and a sense of security. Through these initiatives, refugees and local communities alike are better equipped to rebuild and thrive together.

With conflict spanning decades, the threat of displacement, natural disasters, and high costs have left over 3 million children in Somalia without an education.

Poverty and the lack of supportive school environments drive high dropout rates, with families often forced to prioritize food over school supplies or hygiene kits.

Overcrowded classrooms, inadequate sanitation, few trained teachers, and limited learning materials make learning difficult, leaving many children unable to pursue higher education.

With your support, we provided educational programs for IDP children in Somalia, providing care, school supplies, and free breakfast. Additionally, our vocational programs help youth develop skills in technology, tailoring, as well as beauty and salon services.

Decades of conflict, political instability, and limited access to education have exacerbated unemployment, particularly among young men and women eager to support their families.

In response, our vocational training program is empowering individuals to learn essential skills like tailoring, carpentry, and carpet weaving — industries with significant local demand. This initiative, the first of its kind in the country, equips participants with the tools and knowledge to integrate into the job market, achieve financial independence, and sustain themselves.

Despite progress in recent years, women in Morocco often face systemic barriers, including unequal access to education, restrictive social norms, and underrepresentation in the workforce. Many women are confined to low-paying or informal jobs, with little opportunity to break the cycle of poverty.

Early marriages and high rates of gender-based violence further exacerbate these challenges, leaving women, particularly those who are divorced, widowed, or single mothers, in vulnerable positions. Our culinary training program seeks to counter these disparities by equipping women with practical skills and work experience, creating a pathway to financial independence.

The program provides internships and employment opportunities in hotels and restaurants in Marrakech, helping participants to support themselves and their families while challenging societal norms and fostering greater equality.

Through our free peer-to-peer tutoring programs, we have supported thousands of students in Canada.

We train and certify high-achieving students to volunteer as tutors, who mentor their peers facing academic challenges. These tutors conduct one-on-one sessions in subjects like math, English, and science, offering personalized support tailored to each student’s needs.

By making peer tutoring accessible to all, we continue to bridge educational disparities, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed, graduate, and reach their full potential.

Many youth and recent graduates are navigating an increasingly competitive job market in Canada.

Tailored to meet the unique needs of diverse learner communities, the Get Job Ready program covers a range of critical skills, like developing a personalized networking strategy, acing job interviews, and building financial literacy.
