SECOURS ISLAMIQUE FRANCE (SIF) is a Non-Governmental Organization of international solidarity based in France. Founded in 1991, SIF is a non-profit and non-political organization that intents to help, to bring relief and to protect the lives of those threatened by natural disasters, armed conflicts or by economic collapse. SIF provides its help in respect of the cultural diversity, without any distinction of origin, religion or gender.

SIF started humanitarian operations in Kenya in April 2012 and subsequently opened a field office in Somalia (Kismayo, Jubaland state) in August 2014.The operations in both of these two different countries have been since maintained under a central management umbrella called the Kenya & Somalia Mission, with the Coordination Office domiciled in Nairobi, Kenya.

In Kenya, the Mission had implemented seasonal projects mainly in Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) areas in Wajir and Tana River Counties through provision of life-saving food voucher assistance and sacrifice meat during demanding period like Ramadan and Aid al Adha and emergency response including the 2018 floods response in Tana River County.

Also, it implemented bee’s hives and poultry project in the Wajir, Tana River, and Garissa counties area as well as youth empowerment project (education) in the Nairobi slum area. As for Somalia, from the inception the Mission confined its operations to the Kismayo town area, a relatively secure zone in Jubaland state that hosts over 184 IDPs camps as of February 2019 and several two returnee camps.
