Ahmed Gurey The Marehan hero.

Ahmed Gurey was Oromo.

When Abdallah Ibrahim Jare, his wife Ishan and their four young children set out on foot on the 25-day trek from their home in Somalia to Kenya, Abdallah had no idea of the nightmare that lay ahead of him. Fifteen days into their journey, 30-year-old Ishan died.

“She was hungry,” Abdallah said. “She was giving her food to the children.”

Abdallah buried Ishan with the help of other people who were walking with them from their drought-ravaged homeland to find food and shelter in a refugee camp. He decided to continue on. “It was very painful,” he said, “one of the most difficult and painful times in my life.”

Abdullah set out once again, confused and worried about how he was going to raise the children on his own. “I’m still worried about the little ones,” he said.

Abdallah’s younger children have not asked about their mother, but his oldest daughter does ask about her. Abdallah says that Ishan was not sick before they left Somalia. “If she had enough food and medicine she would not have died,” he explained.

Meet Dr. Hawa Abdi Dhiblawe, a 60-year-old family doctor who has treated, often for no charge, thousands of poor women and children in Somalia for over quarter of a century. She runs the Dr. Hawa Abdi clinic, located between Mogadishu and Afgoye.

Joining Dr. Dhiblawe’s family clinic are her two young daughters, Dr. Amina Mohamed Abdi, and most recently, Dr. Deqa Mohamed Abdi. All three now work in the clinic.

Hawa Abdi Foundation





The Hawa Abdi Foundation was one of the first NGOs to open in Somalia, and aims to provide quality health care, education that the local nurses and midwives need, and aid the empowerment of women in their communities.

The goal of Dr. Hawa Abdi, the driving force behind the Hawa Abdi Foundation and Hawa Abdi Village, was to help women in Somalia, and especially in the Lower Shabelle area to have better access to health care and education. When the war started, she started to try to provide safety to those seeking shelter on her land.
