About Us
Empowering communities in the Middle East and North Africa through education and training programs, health initiatives, and economic development projects.
Vision
We care deeply about youth education, health, and wellness. We believe that foundational learning programs coupled with public health interventions provide pillars needed to strengthen local communities, create hope, and build resilience and self-reliance amongst youth; we believe that improving education and health care outcomes for youth is the scaffolding required for success in adulthood; and we believe that quality education and health care is a right not a privilege. We fully support the extension of community-focused learning centers as a means of extending services to the widely disparate needs of Somali youth.
Mission
Our mission is to provide children and youth affected by displacement with quality education opportunities that are relevant to their psycho-social, emotional, and cognitive development, across all phases of disruption and displacement. Because our primary focus is children and youth who are out of school or have had their education interrupted, we fully support diverse learning pathways as a means of addressing wider social inclusion. Our goal is to provide a sustainable platform for learning, health care delivery, and community change by equipping Somali youth with the skills needed to make positive contributions to their communities.
