To become premier national disaster risk management organisation.
To Coordinate Disaster Risk Management at the national and Local level in cooperation with Local and Foreign agencies.
Due to the fact that there are lots of disaster that might befall a community, we have opted to specialize and focus on the following angles of disaster:
Our relief program offers immediate help to the victims of war, civil conflicts, famine and natural disasters. In case of disasters, SUKOS-DMF provides immediate and sustained relief funding for basic needs, medical aid, and daily living requirements for the victims. SUKOS-DMF is conducting its relief aids through the offices of the trustees of the Suleiman Kova Security and Disaster Management Foundation Committee for Relief Aids. SUKOS-DMF has made plans to co-operate with other national and international relief organizations in order to strengthen our capacity to mount an effective and rapid response to these emergency cases.
Apart from emergency relief aid, we also offer humanitarian assistance for the destitute particularly in regions that have been afflicted with drought, famines, environmental disasters and other long standing adverse conditions. During our relief aide provision, we distribute food to the victims; water-wells are drilled to provide them with water for drinking and irrigation; agricultural and other productive projects are established to help re-settle the victims and enable them to rebuild their lives. Taking care of orphans and destitute families is one of our most important goals, for there are thousands of orphans and widows particularly in regions afflicted with civil conflicts, left behind without caretakers and are in desperate need for survival first and to have conflicts resolved.The Suleiman Kova security and disaster management foundation spends a specific percentage of its aid as grants to orphans, widows, and families that lost their breadwinners to help them overcome crises, begin a new life, or start self¬employment project.
SUKOS-DMF offers several programs for security and disaster management and offer orphans and destitute children proper care and good education. Examples of projects that we have initiated currently are Orphans Sponsorship ,Orphans TRUST project (New hope Orphanages in Kigamboni) Building and Supporting Orphanages,Establishing income-generating projects to support destitute families.
Key services we indulge in under this section are:
Education being the cornerstone in the development of poor communities, SUKOS-DMF emphasizes on supporting and improving education and eradicating illiteracy by creating self-awareness to our youths and all communities at large.We select schools and pay Find and pay school fees, provide scholastic materials and any other form of assistance to motivate vulnerable and marginalized children and track their performance consistently.
Promoting and Supporting science education in universal government and community schools through implementing teachers' professional development programs, publishing and providing science books, construction of laboratories and libraries, providing computers and implementing Media Education Programs in the schools. Such programs are organized to ensure development of positive attitude towards education amongst the students.
Implementing psychiatric services in schools of vulnerable and marginalized children to ensure continuous motivation, reinforcement and providing counselling services to such children mainly girls experiencing any form of violation of their rights at homes and the communities where they live such as domestic violence, rape and defilement.
leading Emergency Preparedness and Response in the country with a bias to high disaster vulnerable regions in order to aid in proper disaster management and response to such.
Disasters are as old as human history, however the dramatic increase and damage caused by them in the recent past have become a cause for National and International concern .Over the past decade, the number of natural and manmade disaster has climbed inexorably.
The losses caused by various forms of disaster are normally too major for the affected to recover in time or at worst scenario never recover at all leading to misery and pain.
SUKOS DM Foundation has just the right solution to ensure we as a country and the world at large are prepared to face the consequences of disaster and ensure our lives and hard earned investment as individuals and a country is not washed down the drain and memory lane.
Despite the well organized and coordinated frameworks and mechanisms in place, there are still several gaps and challenges which complicate or impede the Disaster Risk Reduction efforts, one among these gaps and challenges includes Weak EWS (Early Warning Systems) due to lack of enough skilled manpower, equipment, technology and financial resources and Lack of funds to implement climate change related programs and disaster recovery
It is to this effect that SUKOS-DMF (Suleiman Kova Security and Disaster Management Foundation) has prioritized on bringing on board and coordinating the private sector and Non-governmental organizations to prioritize on the agenda of disaster management among others and compliment or supplement government efforts on Disaster Risk Reduction efforts.
