The United States based Somali Family Services here after referred to as “SFS” is a non-profit organization headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota with in-country presence in Puntland and South Central Somalia including a newly established Regional office in Nairobi, Kenya that coordinates the Somali Family Services International Program (IP).  SFS through local and international partnerships, we support Somali capacity building initiatives in Democratic Governance and sustainable livelihoods and promotion of interaction and exchange of knowledge, ideas and resources. This initiative is intended to enhance and support civil society organizations, government institutions, educational institutions, health institutions, and humanitarian efforts in Somalia.  SFS was established in 2003 to serve Somali immigrants, their families and descendants in Minnesota and to improve the overall quality of life for Somali populations.

Our vision is to promote positive community development to ensure the peaceful co-existence, acceptance, and a global community that is both responsible and productive. This vision is equally important for individuals and families in Minnesota as it is to those we serve in Somalia.
