Education is a critical foundation for peace, development, resilience, and long-term social transformation. In Somalia, years of conflict, displacement, poverty, and inadequate infrastructure have disrupted access to quality education for millions of children and youth.
HLDI recognizes education as a powerful tool for empowering individuals, reducing inequalities, protecting children, and promoting sustainable development. Our Education Programme focuses on improving equitable access to safe, inclusive, and quality education opportunities for children, adolescents, and youth.
