In #Sudan, cash plays a key role. It puts choice and dignity back into people’s hands. It allows them to buy what they need and injects money directly into the local market.

In #Somalia’s Kismayo, families displaced by back-to-back climate shocks - drought and floods - arrive to camps already stretched thin. No water. No healthcare. No protection. Neglect is not absence. It’s a silent crisis felt every single day.
