project Overview
The Saxansaxo Youth Land Restoration Project creates paid land restoration work for young people in Badhan, Sanaag. Local youth are trained to build stone terraces on degraded slopes - restoring farmland while creating dignified employment and protecting the land their communities depend on.
Why that matters
Across the Horn of Africa, climate change, drought, and soil erosion are degrading farmland and threatening food security. In Sanaag, over 30% of arable land is affected while youth unemployment exceeds 70%.
This project restores productive land while creating paid work and opportunity for local youth.
This project will directly support 120 people
