Barwaaqo Teacher Training College (https://barwaaqouniversity.org/) 

Barwaaqo is a residential college creating life-long careers for women in Somaliland. In a country where female unemployment is well over 90%, more than 95% of our bachelor’s degree graduates have successfully secured high-paying jobs within 3 months of graduation. Barwaaqo offers degrees in education and communications, filling a crucial gender gap since 87% of teachers in Somaliland are men. 

Kaabe Schools (https://kaabeschools.org/)

Kaabe Schools are pioneering child-centered learning in Somaliland delivered by homegrown talent. The majority of teachers are products of AN’s teachers college at Barwaaqo University, but they work alongside foreign hires who have Montessori or general primary school experience. 

The Republic of Somaliland declared its independence from Somalia in 1991 and has enjoyed peaceful transfers of democratically elected governments since then. But after decades of war, generations of youth in Somaliland have grown up with less access to quality education and little economic opportunity. AN is providing life changing education opportunities, especially to disadvantaged young girls and women in Somaliland.
