We at MPDO recently donated essential teaching materials, including pens, books, and pencils, to Damaley Primary School in Balcad district, Middle Shabele. This support follows our previous efforts in constructing classrooms for the school, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to enhancing educational opportunities for the community.

Girl's Basketball Tournament: Empowering Girls Through Sport We hosted an inspiring Girl's Basketball Tournament aimed at empowering women and girls. This event provided a platform for participants to compete, connect, and uplift one another. Through the sport of basketball, we fostered personal growth, teamwork, and confidence among our young athletes.

We are dedicated to promoting sustainable agricultural development through our Community-Led Greenhouse Expansion and Farmer Mentorship Program, which empowers local farmers to grow diverse crops in eco-friendly greenhouses. Our initiative provides modern greenhouse infrastructure to improve growing conditions, connects experienced farmers with newcomers for mentorship in best practices and sustainable techniques, and encourages community participation to align our programs with local needs. Through supporting sustainable practices, we aim to enhance food security, promote biodiversity, and strengthen community resilience, working together for a greener agricultural future.

We conducted extensive health education sessions designed to raise awareness about essential topics such as hygiene practices, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and nutrition. These sessions included interactive workshops, informative presentations, and community discussions, allowing participants to engage actively with the material. We covered practical hygiene measures to reduce the risk of illness, strategies for preventing common diseases, and the importance of proper nutrition for both mothers and children. Additionally, community members were informed about the available health services in the area and how to access them, providing them with vital resources and support to empower individuals and families to make informed health choices. Ultimately, these efforts aimed to foster a healthier and more informed community.

As an organization, we conducted a vital food distribution initiative at IDP sites and other vulnerable communities. This effort is designed to provide essential food supplies to internally displaced persons (IDPs) living in the camps, alleviating food insecurity and addressing the nutritional needs of these communities. We are committed to ensuring that all individuals, particularly those in greatest need, receive the necessary support for their health and well-being during these challenging times. Together, we are working towards a future where no one goes hungry and everyone has access to the food they need to thrive.

Vocational and Tailoring Skills Development Program: We support this program by providing comprehensive training in vocational skills, including tailoring, for community members. The initiative aims to empower individuals by enhancing their vocational abilities, promoting economic independence, and fostering self-sufficiency among participants. Through this program, we strive to equip individuals with valuable skills that contribute to their personal and professional growth, ultimately uplifting the community as a whole.
