Iftiin Community & Development Foundation (ICDF) was founded with a clear vision: to create a future where every Somali girl has access to quality education and the opportunity to reach her full potential. We believe that education is the most powerful tool for breaking cycles of poverty and creating lasting change.
Our name "Iftiin" means "light" in Somali, representing our commitment to bringing light and opportunity to communities through education and development. We work in partnership with local communities to ensure our programs are culturally appropriate, sustainable, and address the unique challenges faced by girls in Somalia.
