The Somali youth organization for development and reforming (SOYODER) is a non-governmental organization founded by a group of Somali youth in the millennium year 2000 in order to serve Somali social protection and engage in development and reforming activities for the Somali community.

Due to the collapse of the central government of Somalia, Somalia has been exposed to lack of protection and lack of development during three decades of inefficiency.  In the past 15 years, Somalia has been engulfed by civil confrontation, which devastated the whole country''s infrastructure and institutions.  As a result, many services remain paralyzed including hopes for peace, social services, democracy, Human rights, education and other social development factors.  In view of all this, SOYODER was initiated to respond to the general social setback of the Somali people.

The vision of SOYODER is to fully abolish all types of abuses and enable the Somali population to enjoy their rights especially with the administration of justice, also in order to ensure equal rights for all on earth and life together in world harmoniously with peace, stability, understanding, democracy, solidarity and tolerance.
