Ugaas of the Bahgari — Ogaden community
Donate
Your contribution becomes a well, a classroom or a health post — not a speech. Every project has a written budget, a named person responsible, and a report with photographs published when it closes.
Where the money goes
Every contribution goes to one of the six pillars of the plan. Money without a project attached is not accepted.
Water & Drought Resilience
Reliable clean water, and readiness before the drought arrives.
Education
A classroom worth sitting in, and every girl reaching it.
Health
Care within reach — above all for mothers and infants.
Livestock & Livelihoods
Healthy herds, a reachable market, and income that survives a bad year.
Peace & Customary Law
Disputes settled by xeer, not by force.
Youth & Women
A skill, a little capital, and a seat where decisions are made.

Protect yourself from fraud
Before sending money, confirm the account with us on WhatsApp. The Office will never ask you to send funds to a personal account that is not listed on this page. If someone contacts you claiming to act for the Ugaas and asks for money, please tell us.
Sponsor a project
Any project can be broken into parts: one well, one classroom, one piece of equipment. If you or your family would like to fund a whole project, get in touch — your name or your family name can be recorded against it.
What we commit to
- Every contribution is recorded: the giver, the amount, and the project it went to.
- Every project has one named person responsible for it.
- When a project closes, a report with photographs and accounts is published.
- If a project stalls, we say why. We do not go quiet.
It starts with one message
Tell us how much you would like to give, and which project you would prefer.
