Quality Education

Infrastructure Support

MDO provides state-of-the-art equipment such as computer labs, instructional materials, and high-quality textbooks to enhance the knowledge, skills, and employability of youth and community members in the Makhir regions (Sanaag and Haylaan). We partner with local schools and educational institutions such as Somali National University (SNU) in Badhan, Sanaag. 

Scholarship Opportunities

MDO collaborates with local institutions to secure funding for student scholarships, enabling them to pursue education at SNU and at world-class universities. This initiative is facilitated through our planned accreditation and partnerships with reputable organizations such as the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and Duolingo.

Our collaborative efforts with ETS ensure that students have access to learning materials and standardized testing services, which are crucial for university admissions processes and advancement. Additionally, our partnership with Duolingo provides students with language proficiency certifications that are widely recognized by higher education institutions. These strategic alliances not only enhance the academic prospects of SNU students but also support their readiness for employability and economic self-sufficiency.

Furthermore, MDO provides guidance and resources to local institutions to help students navigate the complexities of scholarship applications and admission requirements. By leveraging these partnerships, we aim to break down financial and other barriers and promote equitable access to higher education for deserving students in our community.
