Introduction:

The Somali Arts, Advocacy and Reform Organization (SAARO) is a premier, youth-led nonprofit strategically addressing the interconnected crises that threaten Somalia’s stability and development.

 

Founded in 2014, we confront a landscape where trafficking in persons, smuggling of migrants, illicit narcotics trafficking, and systematic extortion converge with continued terrorist attacks. These threats collectively undermine security, erode the rule of law, and impede sustainable progress.
