Crisis in Somalia: One Woman’s ResponseVital Voices Global Partnership Cordially invites you to a roundtable discussion Featuring Dr. Hawa Abdi
Dr. Hawa Abdi’s life-saving efforts started in 1983 when she opened a one-room clinic on her family farm in Somalia. As the Somali government collapsed, refugees flocked to her clinic, seeking food and healthcare. Today, she runs a safe haven camp for approximately 90,000 refugees, mostly women and children, who fled the fighting in Mogadishu. With her country in crisis, Dr. Abdi's work is more critical than ever. We hope you will join us to show your support to this remarkable woman leader. Vital Voices proudly partners with Glamour magazine to help support Dr. Hawa Abdi's cause through their Women of the Year Fund initiative.
