FrontierAid Integrated Development Initiative (FAIDI) is a Somali, female-led organization working alongside vulnerable communities to build resilience, restore dignity, and create pathways to peaceful and self-reliant futures.
Founded in 2024, FAIDI is a Somali non-governmental organization led predominantly by women and rooted in community experience. We respond to urgent humanitarian needs while supporting long-term solutions that help families recover, adapt, and thrive.
FAIDI operates across Banadir, Lower Shabelle, Middle Shabelle, Bay, Bakool, and Hiran regions—reaching urban slums, rural communities, and conflict-affected areas.
Women are central to survival, recovery, and peace in Somali communities. As a female-led organization, FAIDI ensures women’s voices shape decisions, programs, and leadership—benefiting entire communities.
FAIDI uses a people-centered, conflict-sensitive, and locally driven approach. Communities are involved at every stage—from identifying priorities to implementing and monitoring activities.
