At SOMREA, we are driven by a simple yet powerful belief: quality education has the power to transform lives and societies. Founded by Ahmed M. Youssouf, a passionate advocate for education and entrepreneurship, SOMREA was created to address a deep regional challenge — limited access to affordable, accredited, and globally recognised education.
Through innovation, partnerships, and a deep understanding of local needs, SOMREA acts as a bridge between global opportunities and regional aspirations. We combine cutting-edge online learning platforms, on-ground hybrid centres, and personalised student support to create a seamless educational experience tailored to the realities of the Somali Regions
Our exclusive partnership with Unicaf University, one of Africa’s fastest-growing online universities, enables students to access internationally accredited undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral degrees at a fraction of the cost — with scholarships covering up
to 75% of tuition.
At SOMREA, we believe that education is dignity. By removing barriers, we are opening doors to a brighter future for thousands of students across Somaliland, Somalia, Puntland, Jubaland, Djibouti, and the Somali Region of Ethiopia.
