Where We Work
Rooted in communities across Somalia
Our programs run through local partners and women-led groups in the regions below, with new communities joining as partnerships grow.
How We Measure Impact
Evidence, accountability and learning
We listen
Community feedback sessions led by women and youth tell us what is working and what needs to change.
We report
Clear, transparent reporting to partners, donors and the communities we serve.
We learn
Programs adapt to evidence, so every project builds on what the last one taught us.
