🎓 Mission & Purpose
The Caisha Center for Orphanage is a child-care institution dedicated to providing shelter, care, and education for orphaned and vulnerable children in Ba’adweyn and surrounding areas.
In Somalia, due to protracted conflict, displacement, drought, and poverty, many children are left without parents or caregivers. Institutions like Caisha Center play a crucial role in filling this gap by offering both basic needs and opportunities for learning.
👩🏫 Holistic Child Development
Beyond textbooks, many orphanages provide:
-
Social support and mentoring
-
Basic literacy and numeracy reinforcement
-
Opportunities to participate in group activities
-
Preparatory education to transition into higher schooling
📖 Moral & Cultural Learning
Orphanage centers often emphasize Islamic education, cultural values, and life skills — helping children build confidence, learn discipline, and develop socially alongside academic learning.

Somalia faces ongoing challenges including limited access to education, displacement from conflict, drought and economic insecurity. Thousands of children grow up without parental care, schooling, or stable housing.
Orphanage centers provide a pathway to learning, safety, and future opportunity, helping children avoid exploitation and equipping them with basic education and life skills that can transform their futures.
