In Mogadishu, women like Fathi and Saadia are engineers building a 10-floor apartment. People doubted them because they are young women.

The city grows fast with 6,000 buildings in 5 years. More women engineers are needed for fresh ideas, says the Somali Engineers Association.
Some worry new buildings aren't safe. Sand can make them weak. There are also not enough rules to make sure buildings are safe.
More people in Mogadishu means not enough water and toilets. The government is trying to fix this, but it might take time and moving people.

These women lead and build hope for a better Mogadishu's future.
