Schools Association for Formal Education (SAFE) is a not-for-profit and non-governmental institution seeking unrestricted access to basic education for all school-aged children in its operational area. Aware of the deficiency in primary education in Somalia, SAFE endeavors to create opportunities of basic education for children in varied ways. SAFE was established in 1998 by teachers who realized the need for forming a network for formal education schools to bring together the expertise and resources of educational professionals to skillfully and efficiently operate toward achieving the Association’s pivotal principle of free access to education.

The mission of the organization being the creation of a wholesome community that is literate, progressive and public–minded, SAFE puts emphasis on eliminating gender inequity and disparity in education opportunities, which SAFE sees as a biased practice to be abolished.
