🌍 What is WIA Pin Code?
WIA (World Identity Authentication) Code is a FREE, universal address system designed specifically for countries facing addressing challenges. Using simple XXX-XXX-XXX format, it provides every location in Somalia with a unique, permanent identifier.
Somalia Format: 252-XXX-XXX-XXX
The first three digits (252) represent Somalia's international dialing code, followed by location-specific coordinates converted into a memorizable 9-digit sequence.

Current Addressing Challenges:
- No formal addressing system: Most locations lack street names or house numbers
- Emergency response delays: Difficult to locate people needing urgent medical or humanitarian aid
- Aid distribution inefficiency: Food, water, and medical supplies often miss target populations

- Regional fragmentation: Different address formats across federal states create confusion
- Mobile money limitations: Financial services require location verification for security
