It was in the middle of the night when the conflict erupted in a village in the Konzo Zone of Ethiopia that forced 40-year-old Makito, her family and many of her neighbours to flee for their lives. The conflict took everything they had from them: their livestock looted, their home destroyed, and their harvest and village burned down.

Faduma Ali Adan, a 24-year-old mother of two, is a resilient and dedicated caretaker. Living in Mogadishu, Somalia's capital, Faduma's life was already fraught with challenges. Her eldest daughter fell ill and became paralyzed from a prolonged severe fever, and Faduma did everything in her power to seek help. Her story reflects the broader struggles of many Somali families who are struggling to get the health care they for their families and who are navigating an ongoing humanitarian crisis exacerbated by climate change, frequent floods, and conflict.
