Background and Organisational Setting SoH is a Christian motivated organisation for Human Rights, Humanitarian Assistance and Development Cooperation.

The South Omo Zone in southern Ethiopia is severely affected by climate change, with communities facing recurring droughts, floods, conflicts, epidemics, and livestock diseases. These back-to-back disasters have left households with little time to recover, worsening food insecurity. BenaTsemay Woreda, with a population of 88,327 in 2024/2025, is one of the most marginalized areas in the zone. Despite significant arable and grazing land, its lowland regions remain underserved, with poor access to education, healthcare, and clean water. The project targets seven kebeles (Bunakare, Ufi, Luka, Wururi, Aymale, Gone, Sitimba), reaching 18,735 people. Direct beneficiaries include 8,000 community members, 38 institutional actors, and 12 enterprises, while 10,673 indirect beneficiaries from neighbouring kebeles will benefit through expanded services and knowledge sharing.
