Partnerships and Collaboration
The Somali Livelihood Initiative and Disability Organization (LIDOSOM) proudly collaborates with a wide range of humanitarian organizations, development partners, and government institutions to enhance the effectiveness and impact of its programs.
Through these strategic partnerships, LIDOSOM strengthens its capacity to deliver integrated, inclusive, and sustainable interventions across Somalia. Our collaboration ensures coordinated responses in key sectors such as WASH, Health, Nutrition, Protection, Education, and Food Security & Livelihoods.
We work closely with national and international NGOs, UN agencies, community-based organizations, and relevant government authorities to reach the most vulnerable populations, including persons with disabilities, women, children, and marginalized communities.
LIDOSOM believes that strong partnerships are essential for achieving lasting change, promoting accountability, and building resilient communities. Together with our partners, we are committed to improving lives and creating a more inclusive and equitable society in Somalia.

The number of older people with unmet care and support needs is increasing substantially due to lack of special program for elderly people in Somalia, in addition to that elderly people in Somalia are facing hazardous disease like diabetics, blood pressure and mental problem. Addressing these unmet needs is becoming one of the urgent public health priorities. In order to develop effective solutions to address some of these needs, it is important first to understand the care and support needs of older people in Somalia.

In this regard Somali Livelihood Initiative and Disability Organization (LIDOSOM) is currently supporting elderly people in Somalia particularly Gedo region through mobility aid devices and nutrutional food assistant voluntarily with support of Somali Diaspora and local community contribution.

Due to protracted insecurity and recurring drought have resulted the displacement of thousands of households in Somalia living in dire conditions, many children go to work at the market places as shoe shiners, LIDOSOM stepped ahead to support these young children, did referral to primary schools in Luuq district, LIDOSOM managed these children to join these schools without paying any fees.
