Dhoodaan supports children with speech delays in Somalia. We are here for the quiet ones—the late talkers who need more time and understanding. We work with families and professionals to bridge the gap between silence and speech. Founded out of compassion, we help parents recognize early signs and find support where services are limited.
Dhoodaan replaces fear with hope and isolation with community. We organize forums, support groups, and workshops for parents, caregivers, and health workers across Somalia.

Collaborating with 100+ brands to create lasting change and transform communities worldwide
Raising awareness about speech delays and building local capacity through training for caregivers and health workers.
Supporting families with compassion and guidance as they navigate their child’s speech development journey together.
Advocating for speech development in national policies and encouraging early intervention for all Somali children.
We lead with kindness and empathy, always putting the child's needs first. Every family's journey with speech delay deserves patient, caring support.
Every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported, regardless of how they communicate. No child is left behind because they speak differently.
We work hand-in-hand with families, professionals, and institutions to create comprehensive support networks for children with speech delays.
We replace fear with courage, shame with strength, and isolation with community. Every small step forward is celebrated as meaningful progress together.
We raise community consciousness about speech development and early intervention, helping parents recognize signs and seek timely professional support.
The earlier we act, the better the outcomes. We help families access timely support and evidence-based approaches for speech development success.
