“In March 2024, DP WORLD organization extended their support to the Ramadan Food Distribution program, facilitated by Xaq U Dood charity in Awdal, Somaliland. Generously providing food supplies to 100 households, DP World’s contribution was a significant step towards addressing food insecurity in the community.

Led by Xaq U Dood charity, the distribution process was meticulously executed, with a particular focus on prioritizing families in need, especially bedridden children and their families. Recognizing that proper nutrition is essential for the overall well-being and development of special needs children, the charity ensured that tailored, nutritious meals were provided to meet their unique health and developmental requirements.

For special needs children, a balanced diet is not just about sustenance; it is crucial for maintaining physical health and optimizing cognitive function. Nutritious meals can enhance their immune system, cognitive abilities, and overall learning potential.

Moreover, food plays a significant role in emotional well-being. Regular meals not only nourish the body but also uplift the spirit, reducing stress and enhancing overall mood and quality of life.

By delivering food to special needs children, we demonstrate a sense of community support and social inclusion. It sends a powerful message that they are valued members of society deserving of care and respect.

Investing in the nutritional needs of special needs children is an investment in their present and future. It represents a holistic approach to supporting their physical health, cognitive development, emotional well-being, and social inclusion. Together, we can ensure that every child has the nourishment they need to thrive and lead fulfilling lives.”
