The Eco-club at Gollis University was established in 2015 to address high rates of environmental degradation in Somaliland over the previous two decades. The club works with various government and non-government partners on environmental awareness and protection initiatives. Its vision is to be an excellence center for environmental research and training local communities on natural resource conservation and climate change adaptation. The club's goals include empowering students with agricultural and environmental knowledge, providing skills training and seminars for youth, and networking to improve communication skills. The club has participated in celebrations like World Environment Day and conducted seminars on topics such as land use and forestry projects. It has also pioneered a hydroponic fodder production project.
