About
Kaalmo is a charity set up in 2011 to enable young Somalis in Liverpool to achieve their full potential. Liverpool’s Somali community can trace its origins back to the late 19th Century, but most of its members continue to reside in the Granby/Toxteth area. This is one of the most deprived areas of the United Kingdom and Kaalmo was established with the aim of encouraging young Somalis to ‘thrive not survive.’ We have grown as an organisation and while the Somali community remains our primary focus, all young people in the area aged under 21 are welcome to use our resources.
We believe our projects can embrace who we are, and
can define our future, and can change the world.
Our Mission
To provide advice and a range of activities to people aged under 21, in particular young people from a Somali background. This is so young people can maximise their potential and achieve their life goals.
