Socotri Womens Foundation

about us

The Socotri Women's Foundation for Response and Development was established on January 13, 2021, in response to an urgent need for a development institution that would work in the fields of response and development in general, and specifically in the field of women's development in Socotra Governorate. This is due to the special needs of this island in various fields, especially considering that women have not received their fair share of development efforts compared to other areas. Given the founders' vision of the importance of this island and their understanding of the actual needs of women, the Socotri Women's Foundation for Response and Development was the first and only institution working in this island, founded by the island's own people.
