Who Are We

Empowering Communities and Inspiring Change for a Brighter, Sustainable Future

New Ways Organization is a national non-governmental organization founded by Somali intellectuals in 1993. The organization is registered with the Federal Government of Somalia and the federal states of Galmudug, Hirshabelle, Puntland, South West State and Jubbaland State. The organization is also registered with the regional administration of Banadir.

Core Programs

Our organization focuses on the following sectors in its humanitarian support

Who Are We

Pioneering Paths to Prosperity - Empowering Communities, Uplifting Lives, and Building Hope for the Futur.

Our work isn’t about temporary fixes, but sustainable change — enabling communities not just to survive, but to thrive. We support nutrition programs, livelihood initiatives and education that give children and families the tools they need to build brighter futures. By listening before acting, collaborating instead of imposing, and creating solutions that local people can own and maintain, New Ways Organization is contributing to a better world — one where hope becomes opportunity, and potential becomes reality.
