In June 2025, With Support from UNICEF INTERSOM Relief and Development Organization successfully distributed hygiene kits to vulnerable communities in Jowhar. This vital initiative aimed to improve health and well-being by providing essential hygiene supplies to families facing challenging living conditions.
