Rawda Association For Development

Education is at the heart of RAWDA’s mission. We support communities, local partners and key government’s ministries in their efforts to ensure that all children–including the most vulnerable and marginalized—have the right to a quality basic education.

Our education projects in Somalia covers a range of activities, including basic literacy and life skills through both formal and non-formal systems, education grants and fee support, teacher training support, distribution of school learning materials, construction and rehabilitation of school infrastructures as well as support to school feeding programs.

With support from partners in the education sector, we were able to reach thousands of children, youth, and adults from refugee, IDPs and host communities, thus contributing to improving education sector.

To provide affordable quality education, while equipping students with knowledge and skills in their chosen stream, inculcate values, identify hidden talents, provide opportunities for students to realize their full potential and thus shape them into future leaders, entrepreneurs and above all good human beings.
