Happy New Year from all of us at Alight Horn of Africa!

Healthcare works best when it's built with the people it serves. In the Horn of Africa, we are co-creating human-centered health care, ensuring quality services in health and nutrition are accessible, inclusive, and truly meet community needs.

Partnerships are at the heart of our work. Our long-standing collaboration with World Food Programme is a shining example. This week, we hosted the WFP Kismayo team at our sites in Istanbul and Suqa-Awska to see the impact of our joint nutrition efforts.

Strengthening education from the ground up! Our Alight Education team in Las Anod trained regional & district officers on leadership, planning, EMIS data, & gender mainstreaming—boosting access to quality education. In partnership with Global Partnership for Education.

In Kismayo, we engaged the community on child risk mitigation—emphasizing collective responsibility in child protection. Together, we're building a safer future for children. This Protection project is supported by USAID.

Everything we do begins with listening. Before any solution is designed, we sit with communities, hear their needs, and shape ideas together. We call it co-creation—building with people, not for them. That’s how impact lasts.

Today, on World Refugee Day, we stand in solidarity with refugees everywhere. At Alight, solidarity means more than standing beside—it means building with. It means listening, co-creating, and recognizing the strength and potential of displaced people. #WorldRefugeeDay
