Our mission and vision
Building a brighter future for all Somalis
‘Back in 1992, when Zamzam was founded, a bright future for Somalia seemed an impossible dream. Our country was shrouded in darkness and despair.
‘I was fortunate to receive an education in one of the fledgling schools associated with Zamzam Foundation and to become a Zamzam project assistant after graduation from the university
‘Today I am proud to lead an organisation that has grown into a real beacon of hope for all Somalis. I am also delighted that the partnership we have formed in the UK with the Somali Relief and Development Forum is enabling SRDF to raise awareness and raise funds in the UK as Zamzam Foundation UK’

Executive Director
Saving and changing lives
Zamzam Foundation UK supports Zamzam Foundation in its work across Somalia to deliver life-saving humanitarian aid and to transform lives through health, education, livelihoods, clean water and peacebuilding programmes.
We envision a day when there is no more poverty in the Horn of Africa and every person’s dignity is protected.
Our mission is to provide people affected by human and natural crises with emergency relief, educational programmes, clean water and food security, health care, protection for children and orphans, and sustainable socio-economic programmes, as well as to promote peacebuilding and effective governance.
We aim to integrate our values of respect, impartiality, quality, accountability, advocacy, and innovation into all our work.
