Teach at American-run schools in Somaliland - School Based Nurse

Job description

Founded in 2009, Abaarso Network (AN) is a system of nonprofit schools in Somaliland, East Africa that has been featured on 60 Minutes, the New York Times, BBC, CNN, Wall Street Journal, and the Clinton Global Initiative. AN includes a coed boarding high school with American-accreditation; the only all-women university in Somaliland, and the first Montessori primary schools in the country. 

Barwaaqo is a residential college creating life-long careers for women in Somaliland. In a country where female unemployment is well over 90%, more than 95% of our bachelor’s degree graduates have successfully secured high-paying jobs within 3 months of graduation. Barwaaqo offers degrees in education and communications, filling a crucial gender gap since 87% of teachers in Somaliland are men. 

The Republic of Somaliland declared its independence from Somalia in 1991 and has enjoyed peaceful transfers of democratically elected governments since then. But after decades of war, generations of youth in Somaliland have grown up with less access to quality education and little economic opportunity. AN is providing life changing education opportunities, especially to disadvantaged young girls and women in Somaliland.
