Where We Work

At Somali Family Services (SFS), our impact spans local, regional, and international communities, making us a cornerstone of development and empowerment efforts in Somalia and beyond.

With headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a regional coordination office in Nairobi, Kenya, and a strong presence in Garowe, Puntland, we operate across the entire Somali region.

Our programs have touched countless lives, from building the capacities of local governance institutions in Puntland to facilitating peace-building initiatives that unite diverse communities.
