"Somalia is worst humanitarian crisis", UN official. January 2008

In 2001, Somalia was ranked 161 out of 163 countries on the Human Development Index compiled by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).  Currently data is not available to form a 2005 assessment.  Poverty is reflected in figures showing 45% of the population estimated to live on less that $1.00 per day.  73% live on less that $2.00 per day.  GDP per capita is estimated to have fallen from US $280 in 1989 to $226 in 2002. Somalia is judged to have the 6th highest child mortality rate in the world.  It has high levels of disease and hunger, poor life expectancy, low literacy, and poor access to clean water.  In 2004, only about 60 percent of the humanitarian relief programs were funded by the international donor community. 

SRF is working to help Somalis change their future.  Please become a partner in this struggle.  Visit our web site often.
