Building safer communities

Together with the National Organisation for Community Development (NODS), Alf Ba Civilization and Coexistence Foundation (Alf Ba) and Youth without Borders (YWBOD), we support communities to identify their safety concerns and build their skills and opportunities to tackle these problems.

In the middle of conflict, community groups are rising to immense challenges and responding creatively and pragmatically to the impact of war on their lives. Community initiatives have been lighting up streets to decrease harassment, resolving conflicts over water distribution, organising campaigns against firing gunfire, advocating for the end of the siege on Taiz and dealing with uncollected rubbish on the streets which is spreading disease.  By working together on projects like these communities are building their long-term resilience to safety and security threats.
