Overview
Overview
Welcome to Global University in Somalia, an institution born from resilience and a profound commitment to rebuilding a nation through education. We are a beacon of knowledge, dedicated to empowering future leaders and fostering positive change in our community and beyond.
Global University was established in January 2014, a direct response to the devastating impact of the Somali state's collapse and the subsequent civil wars on the country's education system.
Our founders—a dedicated group of Somali intellectuals and diaspora members—recognized that education is the most powerful tool for rebuilding society, fostering lasting peace, and driving sustainable prosperity and justice.
This page details our journey from concept to reality, highlighting the challenges overcome and the milestones achieved in our mission to restore educational excellence in Somalia.
