We created “Youth-Led Community Education for Social and Climate Change in Somalia” because Somali youth face many challenges that limit their ability to actively contribute to society. These include limited access to quality education, climate-related risks, weak civic engagement, and social inequalities. Traditional education alone does not equip learners with the skills, knowledge, or confidence to lead change in their communities.
Our innovation empowers youth by providing community-based, youth-led learning programs that integrate climate education, peacebuilding, gender equity, digital literacy, and public health awareness. By putting young people at the center of learning, we help them become agents of positive societal change, building skills that benefit their communities and the broader society.
