About Us
Gargaar Relief and Development Organization (GREDO) is a national, non-profit, non-governmental humanitarian and development organization headquartered in Baidoa, Somalia with sub-offices across southern states. GREDO was initiated in December 1992 by a group of Somali intellectuals and well-wishers in response to the needs of the community. Since 1992, GREDO has been at the forefront of emergency response, establishing operations in remote locations and reaching those most in need.
