Rebuilding Lives, Restoring Resilience

The Somali Recovery and Resilience Initiative (SoRRI) is a community-driven organization working to empower vulnerable communities across Somalia through advocacy, service delivery, and long-term development. Founded to address the root causes of poverty and instability, we focus on rebuilding systems, restoring hope, and reinforcing local capacities to lead their own recovery.
