The activity plan in this project seeks to develop children and future generation of Somalia into responsible and prosperous individuals. They also seek to inform the general public, parents and policy makers to be responsive in terms of improving education and responsibility in society. The program also seeks to reverse the current lawlessness, conventional/traditional stance and would like to influence the preceptors of parents to accept equity in education for children as agents for change and development in society.

Meanwhile, the project aims to sensitize statutory, customary and religious authorities on the existing potential and benefits of Education as a basic human right with acceptable cultural believes. The program aims to protect the intellectual wealth of children by exploiting their latent potential to the most possible levels of education. The Schools will be in community settings where the services are needed. In addition the schools will be projected to set scene for similar activities in other program areas of DDO in Somalia.

Public facilities like schools and health centers in the country have deteriorated due to the absence of a national government, a decade long civil war between clans, numerous armed factions.

These challenges are more serious in certain parts of the country especially among disadvantaged urban and rural communities. The problem of constant factional fighting, the absence of law and order constant factional fighting and lack of any social services are among the many challenges faced by the disadvantaged urban and rural communities in the country. Traditional biases towards boys education, wide practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and early marriages and at times forced marriages lead to the highest Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Maternal Mortality Rates (MMR) in the world.
