Despite a lack of international recognition, Somaliland has shown that democracy can grow on its own. The country is a prime example of stability in the Horn of Africa. At the same time, the population is young, the majority of people are young people, many of whom have no work and no prospects.
This is exactly where our education initiative comes in: We open up opportunities for young people through practical training in the skilled trades and individualized IT training with international expertise. In this way, we promote economic participation, strengthen democratic structures and send a clear signal for equal opportunities and gender equality.
Vision
A Somaliland where young people shape their own future through crafts and IT, create jobs and sustainably strengthen their society.
Mission
We empower young people through practical training in the trades and IT. We combine international expertise with local roots, use the train-the-trainer method and create fair opportunities for a self-determined life
Values
Partnership: We work on an equal footing with local institutions and communities.
Sustainable: We not only train specialists, but also trainers.
Inclusive: We promote the participation of women and disadvantaged groups.
Innovative: We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern IT.
