Hablo RISE

Welcome Sister,

This space is for you.

Hablo RISE is a community-led project built by and for British Somali and Somali-origin women creating a place of support, connection, and a sense of belonging. Hablo RISE is one of the only spaces of its kind, created by women specifically for Somali and Somali-origin women here in the UK.

​

Hablo RISE is split into 3 strands all of which have been developed by a dedicated team of British Somali women from a range of backgrounds, lifestyles, and professions, bringing together lived experience and professional expertise across social care, health, education, culture, the arts, and media.

Built on over a decade of trusted community work through the Raggydolls project, our approach is rooted in lived experience and shaped by the realities of the women we support.

​

This isn’t a service adapted for our community—it’s something built from within it.

​

Why it matters

Many of us have grown up navigating two or more different worlds.

Balancing cultures.
Adapting to spaces that weren’t built with us in mind.

Whether it’s in healthcare, education, or everyday life these gaps can leave women feeling unsupported or misunderstood.

Hablo RISE exists to change that.

​

Hablo RISE is delivered through three connected strands, each designed to support women in different ways.

​

Hablo Health

1:1 advocacy to help you navigate healthcare, understand your options, and feel confident when it comes tour health.

​

Hablo Learn

Education, advocacy & mentoring
Support around schools, SEND, and navigating education systems alongside guidance, mentoring, and practical support.

Hablo Roots

Here you’ll find a space to belong, reconnect with women who share your experiences, your culture, a place where we support and elevate each other.

​

Whether you’re looking for support, understanding, or connection—there’s a place for you here.

​

                             Soo dhawoow, walaal.
