Fighting with malnutrition in Somalia: Samaara’s life changing nourishment
Format
Samaara Abdullahi is 8-month-old infant and the youngest of a family of six. Samaara’s family is among the new Internally Displaced People (IDP) households to have settled recently in the BRCiS programme target village of Qaranri. The household income depended on rain-fed farm they owned but the drought conditions in the area threatened the family’s food security. “Back home, I had a farm where we grew maize and sorghum and met all the household food needs, however, the rain has failed in two consecutive seasons and we could not produce anymore or tolerate the devastating drought situation.’’ Said Farhia Yusuf Mohamed, 28-year-old mother of Samaara.
