Carruurteenna: Girls’ Education: Celebrating Successes of Girls’ Education in Puntland

This month we celebrate the International Girl Child and the launch of the first-ever children’s focused podcast—CARRUURTEENNA—which presents issues that affect children in Somalia. In our first episode, we dedicate it to International Girl Child Day and focus on girls’ education in Puntland. We speak to Shamso, who is a young girl attending one of the schools in Puntland. We are also joined by a teacher in Shamso’s school, Save the Children, and experts from the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Puntland.

Carruurteenna is a new podcast hosted by Save the Children in Somalia, focusing on critical issues impacting the lives of Somali children. Through in-depth discussions, expert interviews, and storytelling, we will highlight key topics related to child survival, poverty, education, protection, and more. Written, created, and produced by the advocacy, campaign, communication, and media (ACCM) team at Save the Children Somalia Country Office.
