SAACID Teacher Training Institute (STTI)
Since 2002, SAACID has partnered the Netherlands Organisation for Community Development (Oxfam Novib) in developing a women's teacher training institute in Mogadishu. The training course is 2 years in length and is designed to get Somali women into professional teaching positions. From there they can earn an income for their families, be economically independent and provide role models for their students and communities. As usual, demand far outstrips supply, but physical infrastructure is a severe constraint to further expansion of the programme.
In 2004, and with great pride, the first graduating class of 100 women completed their 2-year course (see photo selection above). Thus far, 268 women have graduated from the programme.
