The Somali Sustainable Development Foundation (SSDF) is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation established to address Somalia’s urgent development challenges.
SSDF focuses on critical areas such as infrastructure development, water and sanitation services, urban planning and climate resilience. Somalia faces frequent droughts, floods and displacement crises, compounded by inadequate drainage systems and poor urban infrastructure. SSDF was founded by experienced professionals with decades of international and local expertise in sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDs), flood mitigation, road and highway engineering, housing development and water infrastructure. Our foundation is committed to delivering innovative, practical and sustainable solutions to protect Somali communities and build a resilient future.
The Somali Sustainable Development Foundation (SSDF) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to building climate-resilient communities across Somalia. We work to implement sustainable infrastructure, prevent flood risks, and ensure communities have access to clean water and sanitation. Together with local stakeholders and international partners, we are laying the foundation for a more stable and self-reliant future.
