Vision & Mission

Vision

A clear vision, a short mission, and the values we hold to while we work.

Our vision

A green Dhinowda that holds its own ground

A district where the dunes have stopped moving, the land is green again, and families live well from farming, herding and the sea.

Our mission

Stop the sand, grow the land, open the sea

We work with the people of Dhinowda to control moving dunes, protect the environment, plant trees, teach care of the land, and help families earn from the land and the ocean.

Dhinowda when the land is green
Our values

Six things we will not trade away

Community first

The district sets the priorities. We follow them, not the other way round.

Care for creation

Land, water, trees and sea are a trust. We use them without spoiling them.

Honesty with money

Clear records, clear reports, and no spending we cannot explain in public.

Fair share

Help goes by need, not by family, clan or connection.

Work with others

We join hands with government, other agencies and the diaspora instead of working alone.

Proof, not talk

We measure the sand we stop and the trees that live, and we publish the numbers.

Our goals

What success looks like

These are the goals we test ourselves against every year.

See the full plan
  • Goal 1

    The dunes stop at the fence line

    Homes, wells and the main road are protected on the windward side.

  • Goal 2

    A green belt around the town

    Trees planted, watered and still alive after two dry seasons.

  • Goal 3

    Every village knows the plan

    Awareness teams reach schools, mosques and grazing camps.

  • Goal 4

    Families earn from the sea

    Better gear, cold storage and a fair price at the market.
