Hormuud Salaam Foundation Unveils Vital Infrastructure Project in Kismayo
KISMAYO, Somalia – In a notable leap towards development, the Hormuud Salaam Foundation marked a new milestone on Tuesday with the inauguration of a pivotal infrastructure project. A newly constructed asphalt road now graces the heart of the Calanleey district in Kismayo, signaling a boost to transport, trade, and the overall urban landscape of Jubaland’s interim capital.
This project isn’t just about laying asphalt; it’s a well-researched initiative funded by the Hormuud Salaam Foundation and executed by Al-Buruuj Construction Company. Spanning from Kismayo’s bustling airport to the welcoming doors of Qiilmawaaye Hotel, the road winds through Calanleey market, a hub pulsating with economic activity.

True to this spirit, the project includes a modern drainage system to combat flooding, particularly during the rainy season. This stands as a testament to the Foundation’s commitment to not only infrastructural development but also environmental care. Such endeavors resonate with their larger mission of nurturing Somalia’s recovery through substantial social welfare and public service initiatives.
A Milestone Celebration
The atmosphere bristled with anticipation as Kismayo District Mayor Omar Abdullahi Mohamed took the stage during the celebration ceremony, a humble yet powerful presence. His words resonated with pride and gratitude. This is a monumental day for Kismayo. Connecting isolated neighborhoods will energize our economy, making movement and trade smoother.

he shared earnestly.
The local wisdom of a traditional elder echoed these sentiments, highlighting how this road heralds a new chapter of progress and ease for the daily lives of residents. With a heartfelt tone, the elder observed, For years, challenging roads and floods have been a part of our daily struggle. Today, we witness a new dawn. This road alters not just our paths but the very fabric of our lives and work.
A Gathering of Hope
At the vibrant ribbon-cutting ceremony, attendees included local government officials, community figures, and representatives from the Jubaland Chamber of Commerce. Their shared vision and excitement for the road’s potential to amplify business prospects, improve mobility, and enhance urban development were palpable.
The Hormuud Salaam Foundation’s presence in Somalia has been transformative, particularly through its development and humanitarian efforts in water supply, healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
