Magda was a beacon of kindness and compassion, whose unwavering support for the Somali community touched countless lives. With a heart full of empathy, Magda dedicated herself to uplifting the most vulnerable, advocating for their rights, and empowering them to build a brighter future. Through Magda's tireless efforts, our NGO grew to become a symbol of hope and progress in the Somali region. Their genuine concern and love for the people she served was evident in every project, initiative, and outreach endeavor undertaken. As we reflect on Magda's remarkable journey, let us remember the moments of joy and transformation she brought to so many lives. From providing humanitarian aid during times of crisis to establishing educational programs and healthcare facilities, Magda demonstrated the true essence of humanity through her actions. The outpouring of love and gratitude from the Somali people stands as a testament to Magda's profound impact. Her kindness and support have left an enduring legacy, one that will continue to inspire and guide us in our ongoing mission.

                            Swisso Kalmo is involved in Merka, in a region of Somalia 70 km south of Mogadishu with around 230,000 inhabitants. As one of the few aid organizations in Somalia, we have been working in the health sector in Merka for over 30 years. With private donations from Switzerland, Somalis run an outpatient clinic in the city of Merka, where mainly mothers and their children find help. But people suffering from tuberculosis, malaria and HIV/AIDS are also treated. In addition to basic medical care, young people and adults are also made aware of health issues in the Swisso Kalmo outpatient clinic. Expanding Our Reach: We aim to extend our reach to underserved regions, collaborating with local communities to identify their unique challenges and co-create sustainable solutions. 

                            Swisso Kalmo treats around 940 patients per month, 25% of whom are men, 55% women and 20% children. The most common diseases of men and women visiting the outpatient clinic are rheumatism, diabetes, malaria, high blood pressure and tuberculosis. Children often suffer from diarrhea, malnutrition and pneumonia. Child mortality is high. We also care for patients with chronic diseases who suffer from diabetes, tuberculosis, epilepsy, high blood pressure and mental illnesses. As we kickstart this initiative, we invite all community members to actively participate and engage with the program. Your support and involvement will be crucial in making a positive impact on the overall health and well-being of our community. Here's to a healthier and brighter future, united in wellness!
