Sorn (Somalia Outbreak Response Network) is a humanitarian charity dedicated to rapid, community-centered outbreak detection and response across Somalia. Combining local health-worker networks, real-time surveillance technology, and culturally informed outreach, Sorn delivers fast, coordinated interventions that reduce transmission, protect vulnerable populations, and strengthen local health resilience. Our on-the-ground partnerships and agile response model ensure lifesaving support reaches hard-to-access communities when it matters most.

Sorn’s work is driven by a deep commitment to community trust, scientific rigor, and rapid solidarity. We prioritize listening to and partnering with Somali communities, using evidence-based approaches to act quickly and responsibly while building local capacity for long-term resilience. Integrity guides our decisions—from transparent reporting to accountable use of donor resources—so every action advances health equity and dignity for the people we serve.
