Description:
April 2024 – An estimated 300 million people worldwide need humanitarian assistance and protection in part due to ongoing conflicts, natural disasters and disease outbreaks. In response to humanitarian needs, Global Affairs Canada’s (GAC) humanitarian assistance provides predictable, multi-year, and multi-country support to longstanding partners in protracted humanitarian contexts globally.
With GAC’s support, Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR) aims to provide assistance to address the urgent needs of 111,958 beneficiaries in Ethiopia, Myanmar, Somalia, and South Sudan. This project focuses on improving access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities, essential shelter and non-food items (NFIs), and gender-responsive protection services for people affected by conflict, situations of violence and other emergencies each year.
Project activities include: (1) supporting women and girls’ safe spaces; (2) providing protection services; (3) conducting awareness-raising sessions on gender-based violence services; (4) providing WASH services, including dignity kits; and (5) providing emergency shelter and household non-food items to those affected by crises.
