3 April 2023 – Baidoa, Somalia – Somali farmer Fadumo Mohamed Ibrahim’s crops failed in the drought and she set out on foot for help.

Twenty-five days later, she and her daughter Khaliye stumbled into a settlement in the outskirts of Baidoa, a city in central Somalia, sick and exhausted.

“There is no health care in my village, my children have never been vaccinated,” the 30-year-old says.

Arriving at the crowded settlement of fragile plastic-roofed shelters, the camp leader and health outreach workers took her to a vaccination team in an early step to safeguard their health.
