Shafshafo Organization for Relief and Development is a non-profit, non-governmental Relief organization which was formed in 2001 in Garowe, the capital city Puntland State of Somalia. It was born out of the drastic need to relieve the IDPs, the under-privileged and war-weary people of Somalia brought about by the civil-strife related and environmental hardships confronted. It was founded by community leaders and scholars who saw the need to respond to the suffering of the Somali people, following years of civil strife, subsequent displacement, the plight of the vulnerable sections of the society like helpless widows, orphans, elderly people who lost their kith and kin in the strife. In Somali, the very word ‘Shafshafo’ stands for ‘initial healing’ or ‘first-aid care’, and this very name reflected the principles on the basis of which it was formed.
