I have an ambitious project proposal called “message from the forgotten land” that is rather mission possible. But before I commerce my pitch I would like to give you a brief background about the project. I was born in Somali and after twenty years of civil war, I am unable to go back to my homeland and walk safety at night. So I decided to fight for that freedom. Fact In 2001, Somalia was ranked 161 out of 163 countries on the Human Development Index compiled by the United Nations Development Programme. (UNDP).  Poverty is reflected in figures showing 45% of the population estimated to live on less that $1.00 per day.  73% live on less that $2.00 per day.  Somalia is judged to have the 6th highest child mortality rate in the world.  It has high levels of disease and hunger, poor life expectancy, low literacy, and poor access to clean water.  In 2004, only about 60 percent of the humanitarian relief programs were funded by the international donor community.

 Overview


Almost two decades after the collapse of its central government, Somalia remains a failed state. The Transitional Federal Government, supported by the international community and recognized by the United Nations, has failed to bring peace and stability to the country. Following the Ethiopian government’s military intervention in support of the TFG in early 2007, Somalis were caught in a violent conflict and fled their homes in Mogadishu and other cities in Southern Somalia. Today Somalia is the world’s greatest humanitarian disaster and aid agencies are unable to respond to the immense scale of needs. The insecurity preventing assistance is a consequence of the failed international political and diplomatic efforts. In light of the dramatic situation in south central Somalia, U.S. policy requires a complete overhaul, prioritizing humanitarian concerns over narrow counterterrorism objectives.

Current Humanitarian Situation


Somalia is the world’s worst humanitarian disaster. More than 3.6 million Somalis – 40% of the population – are dependent on external assistance, and hundreds of thousands of people have fled the country to seek refuge in neighboring countries.There are approximately 1.5 million internally displaced people in Somalia and over 500,000 Somali refugees in neighboring countries. While the situation has continuously deteriorated in the past two years, the last months have seen worsening indicators, including high numbers of refugees going to Kenya and Yemen. Exacerbating the problem has been the extreme difficulty in providing assistance. Somalia has always been a challenging operating environment for aid agencies, but it has now become one of the most dangerous places for humanitarian workers

I want to assemble a crew to travel to Somali as humanitarians relief group and really document why until know Somalia doesn’t have a government, hospital, clean drinking water and education facilities. Being somalian I have a great advantage of entering unexplored and unknown villages in Somalia and I will guide the locals to telling their stories and having a chance to have their say to the international community. When the documentary is distributed to the world, 80% of the revenue would go back to Somalia to building Drinking fountains for clean water system, give the civilians the tools to provide for their family and educate the people for a better future. No child deserves to die from dehydration, its not fair and its time to take action. Know that been say, I would like you to sponsor our project. It’s expensive project but every donation of manpower or money would be greatly appreciated. If you would like a break down of the Project, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you very much.
