Our History
The youth of Somaliland had their education interrupted greatly during the war. Most of the government systems and infrastructure were destroyed. It was in this view that a group of youth took the burden upon themselves and participated in peace-making and reconciliation activities aimed at resolving the Somaliland clan conflicts. They organized symposiums for bringing together different youth groups for information sharing, trust building, conflict prevention and awareness raising activities. This created a
zeal to have an organized platform to address issues hence the formation of Solidarity Youth Voluntary Organization (SOYVO). The organization’s desire to see change in the communities has enabled it to circumspectly select the projects that are designed to address socio – economic and political needs of the community. These projects are not only meant to address current issues but premeditated in such a way that they ultimately become autonomous and self-sustainable.
