Flagship project
The Ramaas Orphanage & Sustainable Farm
Near Garowe, Ramaas is developing an integrated orphanage and farm designed to give 200 orphaned children a safe home, education, meals, healthcare, recreation, clean water, and practical opportunities to build self-reliance.
The campus includes classrooms, bed halls, a mosque, and dining and kitchen facilities, with farmland and planned health and sports facilities. Important facilities have been established, but major infrastructure, equipment, water, health, and agricultural needs remain.
