Gobyahan empowers Somali youth through Storytelling, Climate Awareness and Cultural Preservation initiatives.
Support Our Work Learn MoreGobyahan is a nonprofit storytelling platform that uses film and multimedia to tell Somali stories, preserve cultural memory, and raise awareness about climate change. We center young Somali storytellers, ensuring that the people closest to these stories are the ones telling them.
We train young Somali filmmakers and multimedia storytellers to share stories rooted in their own communities and lived experiences.
We document how drought, environmental change, and shifting livelihoods are reshaping Somali communities and pastoral traditions.
We safeguard oral histories, poetry, songs, and traditional knowledge tied to the land — before they are lost.
