The aim of this study was to establish the correlation between remittance and Household poverty in Mogadishu.The study adopted a none-experimental case studysurvey design. Using a sample 399 respondents this study applied both quantitative and qualitative approaches in the analysis of its sample. The Sample covered respondents who receive and do not receive remittance in Mogadishu capital city of Somalia. Questionnaires were the main instruments of data collection. The data collected was analysed using the statistical package for social sciences. This study found out that Remittance had a significant relationship with poverty level. It went further to predict a 21.4% variance in poverty levels.
