Organizational Background
Irman Foundation was founded in 2018 to impact and change people’s lives in rural Somalia. We are a charitable organization that seeks to influence people to self-reliance through skills development, empowerment, mentorship, information, and providing the appropriate resources. We focus on mobilizing communities towards responsible and sustainable development. Our priority is to eradicate poverty in the communities we serve by promoting food security and good health.
