to facilitate the resettlement and integration of the Somali Bantu community through providing educational, cultural, and life skill training programs. We seek to promote English literacy, promote awareness of American culture, and encourage self-sufficiency within and among the individuals and families comprising the Somali Bantu community in the United States, especially in Vermont. As part of our mission, we also support not only the Somali Bantu community, but also any fellow community member in need of service.
