Educate a woman and you educate a nation – African Proverb

SWSC is passionate about girls’ education and committed in creating opportunities for young women to become empowered and aware of women’s rights. In Somalia, girls’ enrolment in school and transition to higher learning is still low as compared to boys. SWSC seeks to address this disparity by providing scholarships to young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to complete their post-secondary education so that they can become productive members of our society.

Through SSF support, SWSC offered full scholarships to 32 young women to study at universities in Mogadishu, Baydhabo and Galkacyo South.

With your support, SWSC can scale up the scholarship program to provide opportunities for young women from vulnerable backgrounds.
