Community Inclusion
True inclusion goes beyond services — it means belonging. SONAD creates opportunities for Deaf Somalis to connect, participate, and be recognized as an equal part of society.
Our community programs include:
Sports & Recreation – A Deaf football team with 25 players competing in Mogadishu tournaments.
Cultural & Religious Gatherings – Collective iftar during Ramadan, building unity and reducing isolation.
Awareness Campaigns – Seminars and events to fight stigma and promote Deaf rights.
Representation – Participation in national and international conferences to give the Somali Deaf community a voice on global platforms.
Through these initiatives, SONAD strengthens pride, connection, and visibility for the Deaf across Somalia and beyond.
