ISDP Somalia

Education

ISDP works to improve access to quality and inclusive education for children and youth, particularly those from displaced and marginalized communities. The organization supports school infrastructure by constructing and rehabilitating classrooms, providing desks, chairs, blackboards, and teaching materials, and installing gender-segregated latrines, handwashing facilities, and safe drinking water points. Accessibility is enhanced through ramps and other facilities for children with disabilities.

Beyond physical infrastructure, ISDP promotes safe and supportive learning environments by implementing school-based health and hygiene education, life skills sessions, and child protection awareness. The organization also integrates nutrition interventions, including school feeding programs, micronutrient supplementation, and health check-ups, ensuring that children are healthy and ready to learn. In addition, ISDP engages communities, parents, and school management committees in dialogues to promote school attendance, strengthen local ownership, and foster an inclusive approach that prioritizes marginalized children.
