AHMOFA Education Foundation
The Ahmofa Educational Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 2007 by Ahmed Farah. The AEF mission aims to strengthen and improve public education in Somalia.

Education Foundation Somalia conducts research to inform public policy and school practice. Its research investigates the conditions for educational equity and excellence among Somalian students.

We realize that we all must work to help all families and all communities realize their dream of a better future.

When nearly a 80 percent of our high school students do not graduate on time with their peers, we have work to do. We must design our middle and high schools so that no student gets lost in the crowd and disconnected from his or her own potential. So We need to take advantage of the opportunity we have now to create a vision and become great.

The organisation began in 2007 as a joint venture of the Ahmofa Youth Foundation and Educational support. In 2007, it assumed the activities of the Education Foundation, an organisation which was established in 2005 to support public education throughout Somalia and some countries in East Africa.

The young Ahmed Farah has started this foundation in 2007 and his goal was the development of effective teaching materials to both improve the quality of education and make it more widely available to all. He wanted to help people reach their full potential and prepare for careers that would yield a high level of self-fulfillment. He had a similar goal for the charitable foundation he launched, The Ahmofa Educational Foundation. Mr. Farah also believed that over-population was the most serious problem facing the world, and he used the Foundation's funds to address that issue.
