"Hablo" is Somali for"Women" or "girls". And we're building a Sisterhood where Somali heritage and British identity can coexist with strength, clarity and pride.
SOO DAHWOOW
For many British-born/raised Somali women, growing up in the UK has meant navigating two very different worlds.
Often, those values can feel completely at odds leaving many women feeling conflicted, isolated, emotionally exhausted.
At Hablo RISE, we understand this struggle.
WE HAVE LIVED IT.
It is from this understanding that we came together to create and develop Hablo RISE. Built on over a decade of community work through the Raggydolls project, our approach is rooted in trust, lived experience, and culturally informed support.
Our mission is to create a space where British Somali women can feel supported and empowered to define themselves in and on their own terms, while honouring and celebrating the richness of our beautiful East African culture here in the West.
