Our Work

Health

Functioning clinics, healthier herds

What we do

Health systems weakened by conflict limit access to care and erode trust in the institutions meant to provide it. ARI’s health work restores facilities and the capacity to run them — and extends care to livestock, on which pastoralist livelihoods directly depend.

Human health

Rehabilitation of health facilities, with resilient retrofit
Equipping clinics and supplying the personnel that make them functional
Training for frontline staff and managers
Equitable delivery across all community groups, with attention to historically excluded populations

Veterinary services

Delivered through multi-purpose centres serving semi-settled pastoralist communities, veterinary support improves herd health and reduces the losses that push families into deeper vulnerability.

When services collapse, trust in institutions collapses with them. Restoring services equitably signals that legitimate institutions are present and accountable.ARI Founding Document

One health

Herd health is household health

For pastoralist families, livestock losses translate directly into food insecurity and lost income. Veterinary services delivered through the multi-purpose centres protect the asset that household resilience rests on.
