The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is helping people gain improved access to quality education by building new schools, training teachers, and providing supplies and scholarships for teachers and students.
The Basic
Education Development (BED) project is being implemented in 21 community schools: 16 in the Nugal region and five in the Hiran region. It was launched in November 2004.
The BED project consists primarily of two components: basic education for children, with an emphasis on improved access for girls and functional adult literacy for women.
The project has benefited 6,746 children and 723 adults.
"ADRA has really changed my life," said 14-year-old Maryan Hassan Mohamed, a student at the Jalalaqsi Primary School in the Hiran region of Somalia. Maryan lost a leg to a gunshot early in her childhood during Somalia's civil war. For many years, Maryan was unable to go to school because the closest school was too far from her house.
The project is funded
by the European Union (EU) in partnership with the ADRA offices in Germany and Somalia.
ADRA has been operating in Somalia since 1992 and has managed over 50 projects funded by different donors in eight sectors, namely: water, primary health care, education, food security, infrastructure, institutional capacity building, micro-enterprise development, and emergency response interventions.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
