How the business started…

Like many African countries Somaliland is changing, its growing and it has many opportunities with its resources, work force and geographical location. It also has suffered years of war, fighting, corruption and Political Instability. However, a tide is turning, now there are opportunities for the country to change and more than ever it needs it's Woman to stand up and be encouraged.

I took trip back home to Somaliland in 2014, to visit my mother. It was then, that I discovered I wanted to do work that inspired me and would make a positive difference in the local community and across Africa. I wanted to use my skills and experiences which I gained in Sweden and apply them in Somaliland. As an entrepreneur I wanted to start a new venture but one that would benefit locals especially Somali women. I have a mother that has spent most of her life being an advocate for women’s issues. She encouraged me and supported me to give up a stable job and start a new venture in Somaliland.

As a nutritionist; I was constantly advising people on what to put in their bodies for optimum health. However, people often tend to forget, what we put in our bodies is just as important as what we put on our skin.  

I am extremely passionate about natural health and beauty products and so decided to work on my own range which would be natural, Organic and produced in an ethical manner. I found my ideal skin care range from the natural leaves found in the horn of africa. With the correct procedures and after much experimentation I found the perfect range which I named Riyan Organic, named after my daughter! 

The product ranges are fantastic and exclusive, but that is not all! I have given the farmers good trading deals so that they can benefit from the profits of my range and as someone who is passionate about female empowerment, I have hired dozens of Somali Women to help prepare the raw material that I sell to the world.
