Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that over £2,333 has been raised so far to support the people and businesses in Somaliland. (Read More Here).
It was gathered that in the early hours of Saturday, fire outbreak occurred in Waaheen Market, Hargeisa, Somaliland, destroying over 2,000 plus stores and goods.
According to the Somaliland fight service, the fire service trucks aren't enough and money to help rebuild Hargeisa market isn't enough also. Hence, the reason for the GoFundMe donations.
Over 56 people have donated so far. Somaliland Fire Service's information reads:
"My name is Sagal Mohamed, I work as volunteer project manager at Better health Somaliland with my sister Ayan Mohamoud, The Former Ambassador for Somaliland to UK, have initiated a fundraising appeal on behalf of Somaliland Fire & Rescue Service.
