EACI, is a non-profitable, non-religious, non-partisan, community based indigenous humanitarian consortium comprising of 265 women members umbrellas, intellectuals, elders, women entrepreneurs, and dynamic youth groups. Its establishment came as result of the urgent and dire pressing needs in which Somalia, the country was going through shortly after the bloody civil war that displaced thousands of innocent people among them women and children.
