All praise is due to Allah, who made this project easy for us. The container sent from Oslo in Norway arrived safely in its destination in southern Somalia.

After that we would like to thank the Somali community in Norway for their support in this honourable project. Likewise we extend a big thanks to Flyktninghjelpen and Zamzam Foundation who gave us great support and help by utilizing many years of experience with such projects.

 

Journey of the Container

The size of the container was 40 feet. The container left Oslo, Norway on the 5th of January 2007, arriving in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on the 3rd of February 2007. The container finally arrived in Muqdisho 7th of March and the contents of the container were finally distributed by Zamzam Foundation on the 29 of March.

The total number of people the clothes were distributed were 8740. These were the clothes collected from the people in Norway. This project was funded and administered by Kafaalo Welfare Organization and implemented in Somalia by Zamzam Foundation.
