Millions of Somali youth still lack access to meaningful learning opportunities, safe spaces, and pathways to sustainable livelihoods. Without intervention, cycles of poverty, exclusion, and instability will persist. Education gaps, discrimination, and limited opportunities undermine social cohesion and community resilience.
YEELO believes that education is the foundation of empowerment and equality. We work to ensure that all children — especially girls, minority groups, and youth with special needs — have access to quality and inclusive learning opportunities. Our programs support schools through teacher training, student sponsorships, and community advocacy to reduce dropout rates. By creating safe and inclusive learning environments, we help children and youth reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Access to clean water, sanitation, and healthcare is vital to community well-being. YEELO implements integrated Health and WASH programs to promote hygiene, reduce preventable diseases, and strengthen public health systems. We construct and rehabilitate water points, support maternal and child health awareness, and train community health workers to extend lifesaving services. Through education and behavior change campaigns, YEELO empowers families to live healthier, more resilient lives.
YEELO’s livelihood programs aim to build economic independence and resilience among vulnerable families. We provide vocational training, small business grants, and agricultural support to help youth and women generate sustainable income. Our initiatives also focus on disaster preparedness, savings groups, and entrepreneurship to strengthen local economies. By promoting self-reliance and skill development, YEELO helps communities withstand economic shocks and improve their long-term well-being.
Peace and justice are at the core of YEELO’s mission. We promote social harmony, community dialogue, and protection of human rights through awareness campaigns and advocacy programs. YEELO trains local leaders, journalists, and youth activists to prevent violence, challenge discrimination, and promote gender equality. By strengthening community-based conflict resolution and supporting marginalized voices, we help build a culture of peace and inclusive governance across Somalia.
YEELO recognizes the power of media in shaping public understanding and driving change. We work with local journalists, especially women, to build their skills in ethical reporting, community storytelling, and peace journalism. Our media initiatives raise awareness about education, human rights, and development issues, ensuring that local voices are heard. By promoting responsible journalism and access to information, YEELO strengthens civic participation and accountability.
Environmental protection and climate adaptation are essential for Somalia’s sustainable future. YEELO supports communities in conserving natural resources, restoring degraded land, and managing water efficiently. We promote tree planting, renewable energy awareness, and climate-smart agriculture to help reduce vulnerability to droughts and floods. By integrating environmental action across all our programs, YEELO empowers communities to live in balance with their environment while securing their livelihoods for generations to come.
Eradication of social discrimination, enhances Health, access to safe water and sanitation services, pastoral livelihoods, and promote education, especially for the girl child and environmental protection awareness.
