As 2019 draws to a close, all of us at Somali Community Inc. (SCI) Victoria pause to reflect on what has been a truly remarkable year — one made possible by the generosity, dedication, and goodwill of so many people across our community and beyond.
A Year of Growth and Connection
Throughout 2019, SCI has worked tirelessly to serve the Somali community of Victoria through programs spanning advocacy, education, sport, cultural celebration, and essential community services. None of this would have been possible without the extraordinary effort of the people who stand behind our mission every single day.
To our dedicated volunteers — your time, energy, and compassion are the foundation upon which everything we do is built. Week after week, you show up for your community without hesitation, and we are deeply grateful.
To our community members — your trust in SCI drives us forward. You attend our events, engage with our programs, share your stories, and remind us every day why this work matters. Thank you for being the heart of everything we do.
Thank You to Our Partners and Supporters
We extend our sincere gratitude to our government partners at the local, state, and federal levels whose ongoing support has enabled SCI to expand its reach and deepen its impact across Victoria. Your investment in our community is an investment in a stronger, more inclusive Victoria.
To our organisational supporters, donors, and allies — your belief in SCI's vision of an empowered, connected Somali community in Victoria means more than words can express. We are proud to work alongside you.
In 2019, SCI delivered programs in advocacy, education, sport, cultural events, and community services — each one a reflection of what our community can achieve together.
Wishing You a Safe and Joyful Holiday Season
On behalf of the Board, staff, and volunteers of Somali Community Inc. Victoria, we wish the entire Somali community — and all Victorians — a safe, peaceful, and joyful holiday season. May this time of year bring rest, warmth, and the company of those you love.
— Somali Community Inc. VictoriaWe look forward to continuing this journey together in 2020 — building a stronger, more vibrant community for all.
Thank you for making 2019 a year to remember. The progress we have made belongs to every one of you — and together, we head into the new year with hope, purpose, and gratitude.
