What does FSAN mean in FEDERATION

The Federation of Somali Associations in the Netherlands (FSAN) is an organization dedicated to providing support and assistance to people of Somali origin living in the Netherlands. It was founded in 2009 to help ensure that Somali individuals living in Holland have access to essential services, like healthcare and education.

FSAN engages in advocacy work as well as working with local and national government officials as well as other civil society groups to ensure that the rights of Somalis are respected and protected within Dutch society. They also provide information about available services, like healthcare, education, housing, etc., so that Somalis can more easily access them. Additionally, they run mentorship programs for young Somalis so they can reach their full potential within Dutch society.

There are many ways you can get involved with FSAN! You can volunteer at one of their events or activities; donate financial resources; join a committee or board position; become a mentor; write letters or make calls on behalf of FSAN on important issues; or even just spread awareness about what they do!
