The wisdom behind ADO’s existence is; to help citizens solve their problems with minimum support by facilitating them and supporting them to understand approaches to achieving independent and sustainable economic developments. ADO aims to increase the productive and economic wellbeing of the vulnerable people we work with and to benefit from our programs. ADO’s mission is to assist people especially women and girls in adapting to climate change, protect the environment, conserve biodiversity, improve nutrition levels, agricultural productivity, ensure food security and assist in humanitarian emergencies. I am pleased to have this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to the Board of Trustees, our partners and supporters, field workers, management and all the staff at ADO for the successful accomplishments of humanitarian emergency responses and development resilience work the Somali people.
