Women Development and Reliance Organization (WDRO)
WDRO envisions itself as a leading humanitarian relief and development organization with adequate resources to better the lives with dignity for everyone regardless of race, religion or sex.
WDRO Operating Philosophy
WDRO is solely dedicated to reducing human suffering, promoting resilience, advocating for development and is non-political and non-sectarian in its mission. Derived from the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, WDRO’s logo represents the organization’s human-face approach to humanitarian aid and development, WDRO believes that saving lives and incorporating integrated programming is the key to providing long-term and successful development.

A whole generation of young people pastoralists and agro-pastoralists do not have access to proper schooling and health facilities.
