Guri ann hooyo lahayni waa lama degaan, a house without a mother is deserted. Hooyo, the word for mother in the Somali language, holds its roots in the word hoy, meaning home. In Somali culture, women are the backbone of the household, the anchor of the community and the epitome of the resilience and hospitality that the Somali people are revered for.
