2014 Annual Report


It is my pleasure to present the 2014 Candlelight Annual Report, which is an opportunity for us to reflect on our accomplishments and challenges over the past year.

Candlelight’s work has continued to improve the lives of poor people in communities in Somaliland through the implementation of community driven projects such as, tackling environmental degradation, climate change adaptation, and livelihood support, provision of quality education, raising awareness campaigns against Female Genital Mutilation and delivering appropriate humanitarian response in times of emergencies.

Approximately a total of 256,709 community members have benefited Candlelight’s programs. 2014 had its share of challenges, but we managed to accomplish most of the

planned activities. Key to our achievements this year was the review and preparation of our 2014-2018 strategic plan. The strategic plan delineates our key focus areas in the coming five years. The successful implementation of this strategic framework will require sustained support from our partners as well as exploring new frontiers and strategies to mobilize the requisite resources.

Finally, we owe our success to the support of our hardworking staff and guidance from the Board of Directors. To all our partners and donors, thank you very much for your continued support and cooperation. We look forward to a more enhanced cooperation in 2015.
