Generations of Somali children haven’t gone to school

Sustainable quality education is scarce for Somali youth.

Loss of hope & confidence in their society have forced generations of Somalis to flee their homeland for far too long. It’s time to turn the tide. The country needs future leaders who understand the needs of its population and can provide for those needs through innovation, problem-solving, and collaboration. We’re on a mission to empower Somali youth through quality education and fuel them to improve their lives and build thriving communities.

We see a better future for Somaliland and beyond

It is a longstanding Somali tradition to help lift the next generation out of hopelessness.

We’re educating and empowering Somali youth to become a generation of engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, community leaders and teachers. With a quality education, these children can help their communities innovate new systems, build infrastructure and blossom.
