What we offer

Beyond our newsroom, Bilan shares the craft that made us Somalia's first female production media unit. We train the next generation of storytellers, produce broadcast-quality documentaries and reportage, and advise organisations working for gender equality, development and social change. Every engagement draws on the same field experience, editorial rigour and international recognition that define our journalism — placed, selectively, at the service of partners who share our values.

As Somalia's first female production media unit, Bilan Media has told stories that reached audiences from Mogadishu to The Guardian, Reuters and the BBC. We now offer that same craft as a service — always selectively, and always after careful due diligence to ensure our partners share our commitment to dignity, accuracy and social good.
