Togdheer Women Association (TWA) is a community-based organisation in Burao working in education, humanitarian relief and human rights — including care for orphaned girls through the Tabantaabo school.
Four priorities guide everything TWA does in Burao.
📡
Schooling, shelter and daily meals for orphaned girls at Tabantaabo.
⚡
Food and household supplies delivered to families in need across Burao.
📚
Classroom teaching under Somaliland's national curriculum.
⚖
Protection work led by TWA's Human Rights Officer for women and children.
TWA is a locally led association based in Burao, in the heart of the Togdheer region. Our work is carried out by and for the community — from the volunteers who distribute relief supplies to the staff who run daily life at Tabantaabo.
Three programmes carry most of TWA's work in Togdheer today.
A school and shelter for 284 orphaned and impoverished girls in Burao, running since 2010.
