Hope for women and children

In Bosaso, Somalia, a place of hope is emerging: the first German-Somali mother-and-child hospital. In a region where 98% of women and girls von Genitalbeschneidung (FGM) betroffen sind und medizinische Hilfe oft unbezahlbar ist, bietet unsere Klinik lebenswichtige Versorgung – free, culturally sensitive and accessible. More then 500,000 women and children haben aktuell keinen Zugang zu gynäkologischer Betreuung, Schwangerschaftsvorsorge oder Hilfe bei Geburten. Besonders betroffen sind intern Vertriebene, die unter katastrophalen Bedingungen leben.

Why this hospital is so important

• 98% of all women/girls in Somalia are affected by FGM.
• No public gynaecological care in the region
• New laws require male consent for treatment
• Shortage of female medical staff
• Over 500,000 people in Bosaso without access to obstetric care

Our Vision

• Free obstetric care, emergency care, and FGM treatment
• Information, counseling, and protection for affected girls
• >70% female clinic staff – for a self-determined future
• A safe place for everyone – regardless of income, origin, or status
