Natural disasters usually happen within a short period of time, but they often leave wounds that take years to heal. When fate strikes people a hard blow we try to rise to the challenge and provide quick and sustainable relief.

Thanks to a strong network of local partner organizations in our project countries SONNE-International can respond quickly and efficiently to looming disasters and subsequently in the event of a catastrophe. However, we focus on the implementation of timely, preventive measures.

So far we have carried out the following projects:

• Prevention of famine through hydro-engineering measures 

• Famine prevention by re-establishing livestock    Read more
