Save Somali Women and Children was founded in 1992 by a group of Somali women intellectuals from a cross-section of the community and has a longstanding history with promoting women's rights and advocacy work both nationally and internationally. Save Somali Women and Children has worked in the areas of protection, WASH and livelihoods. Save Somali Women and Children prioritizes supporting grassroots economic projects for women, enhancing their capacity for advocacy, advocacy on female genital mutilation, training non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations on women's rights, and raising information sharing on the condition of women and girls.

Save Somali Women and Children currently serves as the focal point for Zona-K and regularly reports on population movement as well as any other gaps and needs for the camp population. Save Somali Women and Children has offices in both Mogadishu and Nairobi and is a full United Nations Cluster member for health, protection, Shelter/Non-Food Items cluster member, WASH, Agriculture and Livelihoods (which is now Food Security), and education cluster. Save Somali Women and Children has been conducting gender-based violence campaign work for the last five years with support from United Nations Development Fund for Women, and conducts female genital mutilation awareness sessions every February. Save Somali Women and Children is also the Somalia representative in Inter Africa Committee on female genital mutilation, which is composed of 28 states where female genital mutilation is practiced.

The initiatives of SOS Children's Villages in Somalia began in 1983. A property provided by the government in the capital of Mogadishu was chosen as the construction site for the first SOS Children's Village and its adjoining kindergarten. In subsequent years, a school, a youth facility and a mother and child clinic were established on the same property. When the civil war broke out in 1990, SOS Children's Villages started a major medical emergency relief and food program. The SOS Hermann Gmeiner School was converted into an emergency clinic during the war and the mother and child clinic became part of the emergency relief program. Today it remains the only functioning maternity ward in the country. In order to provide SOS as well as other interested youth in Somalia with a professional training, the SOS Vocational Training Center offers a three-year and a four-year state-approved training for nurses or midwives.

At present there are an SOS Children's Village, SOS Youth Facility, SOS Kindergarten, SOS Hermann Gmeiner School, SOS Vocational Training Centre, SOS Medical Centre and SOS Emergency Program in Somalia.
