Noor foundation has welcomed H.E. Ms. Ebyan Ladane, Somalia ambassador to India, to the board of trustee effective from May 2012. We believe the solid academic qualifications, extensive experience in building NGOs, passion for education and International profile of H.E. Ms Ladane will take this small community based charity organization to the next level.
Noor Foundation (NF) is dedicated to provide basic education to the children of Puntland Somalia. NF believes IGNORANCE (Al Jahl) is strongest enemy of peace and prosperity.
NF has dedicated its efforts to build and manage schools. We currently manage 2 schools, in the process of building one more. We also plan to takeover an existing school and manage it. This will take the total number of schools; build and managed by NF to 4 schools, catering to 1500 students by end 2012. NF pays all overhead costs and makes investments to school infrastructure. Our achievements for the last 3 years are very encouraging.
