We work to empower women and youth through sustainable agriculture, education, and community development. Our mission is to build self-reliant communities from the ground up - starting with the tools people already have: their hands, land, and hope.
SSCDO believes in action, not talk. We train farmers, support women and work with local leaders to bring long-lasting change to Somali communities.
