We believe educating future generations of Somalis is the only durable way to institute systemic economic and social change in Somalia. We continuously operated primary and secondary school (Imam Zeyli’i School) in Somalia since 2019.
Iman Zeyli’i School is located in Baidoa, the administrative capital city of the South West State of Somalia. The School was built in 2019 and has eight (8) classrooms, administration office, female and male toilets and teachers’ quarter. The School is registered with the Ministry of Education of Southwest State. Currently the school offers free primary to secondary level education to over 200 students.
Our student population include orphans, students from vulnerable and poor families living in IDP camps and as well as students with special needs.
The school management is supported by a Community Education Committee (CEC) to promote school enrolment through raising community awareness about the importance of education.
Education is fundamental in giving children a path to escaping poverty. Without education, it is impossible for children to improve their future.
We are dedicated ensuring that the most disadvantaged children, have an opportunity to attend and learn in school providing them with life skills to fulfil their full potential.
- EDUCATION SITUATION IN SOMALIA
- Somalia has one of the world’s lowest school enrolment rates.
- More than 3 million of the estimated 4.9 million school-aged children, are out of school.
- Only 30 per cent of children aged 6 to 13 years are enrolled in primary education.
- Estimated 1.4 million school aged children will be in need of humanitarian assistance to retain/enroll in schools.
- The ongoing conflict and natural disasters continue to displace children and families, making it very difficult for them to continue schooling.
