Aridlife employed multi-sector approach to deliver comprehensive and integrated interventions to vulnerable individuals and households utilizing field assessments, context analysis and participatory rural appraisal methods to understand community challenges and aspirations, and used incite gained from the people to inform program development and delivery.

We therefore provided humanitarian and development assistance to communities whose traditional livelihoods have been upset by climate change, drought, conflicts and other natural and man-made disasters. During the reporting period ARIDLIFE interventions was defined by challenges of drought emergency in 2021/2022 and therefore we adopted two approaches to deliver support to our beneficiaries. These approaches were:

• Need based interventions – provide goods and service that the community lacks and/or has lost through natural and man-made disaster
• Development/ Asset-based intervention – empower and build on what the community has in the form of assets and knowledge to build better and prosperous future.

With generous funding of donors Mercy Corps, USAID, Qatar Foundation, Zakat and Qurbani contribution from local and diaspora sources, Aridlife was able to successfully implement large number drought emergency interventions in the 2021/2022. Unlike previous years, where our interventions had resilience and peace building activities, 2021/2022 intervention were predominantly of humanitarian and lifesaving nature due the successive droughts that caused large scale displacement of people and decimated livestock in our area of operation. We successfully accomplished the following activities in this reporting period.
