Large families are seen using tiny mobile hats\/shades. Some members are using old damaged orange plastic sheets that no longer prevent sun heat. Additionally, there are no bedding materials or blankets for most visited households. The IDPs are in dire need as the shelters they are currently using are culturally inappropriate, exposing them to the weather elements. There is a lack of privacy among family members due to the nature of the shelter and the space.<br \/>\n<!--img src=\"https:\/\/seseda.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/gavias-oxpitan-themer\/elementor\/assets\/images\/icon-heading.png\" alt=\"WE SUPPORT\" \/--><\/p>\n<h5>WE SUPPORT<\/h5>\n<p>The most vulnerable members of the community, specifically women, destitute children and poor households<br \/>\nSomali-Ethiopian Social &amp; Economic Development Association is a community based organization (CBOs), non-profit, non-governmental, non-partisan, and development oriented organization that established for the sole motive of developing marginalized communities in the pastoral areas of Ethiopia.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\/?business=VUY9RVADY5HZ2&amp;no_recurring=0&amp;currency_code=CAD\"><br \/>\nShake Hands With Us <\/a><br \/>\n<!--img src=\"https:\/\/seseda.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/gavias-oxpitan-themer\/elementor\/assets\/images\/icon-heading.png\" alt=\"Our Vision\" \/--><\/p>\n<h5>Our Vision<\/h5>\n<p>What We Believe<br \/>\n\u201cif people get together, they could mend a crack in the sky\u201d Somali Proverb. \u201cBe a mountain or lean on one\u201d also a Somali Proverb.
