Puntland Youth and Social Development Association (PSA) is local non-governmental, non- profit organization established in 2002 by a group of enthusiastic young educated members of society
This was after being alarmed by the devastation of war and natural disasters and the subsequent political instability
During the entire period of turbulence, in-school and out of school youth faced the brunt
Many were orphaned at a tender age, dropping out of school
Others faced the trauma of family instability and displacement and others were forcefully conscripted to fight in wars that they essentially knew little about
The youth-the most hopeful, most dynamic and most productive were instead being plunged into despair and a forlorn life
In the absence of any protection and proper guidance, the youth turned to drugs, to vice, to hate for one another and were wholly sucked into the hate cycle. PSA was started with the hope that in the Youth lay immense potential for self protection and national development
Youth offered an excellent avenue to restore the nation back to its course of independence, stability and development
As a united front, we were a big proportion of the population
We prayed for peace and at the same time resolved to do everything to protect young and old from various threats. There is a saying that “Two shorten the road” which is our motto and depicts our commitment to proactively and collectively act as a positive force on the road map for rebuilding our country. Vision An environment where youth move together playing a pivotal role in the self preservation, enlightenment of others and peaceful co-existence amongst groups in contributing positively to development Mission statement PSA exists to mobilize, nurture and support youth to collectively appreciate and uphold universally positive values like peace, human rights, freedom, family stability, peaceful and effective governance structures, environmental conservation, positive culture and improved livelihoods for all.
