Mission and History

Our mission is to champion justice and development in the Horn of Africa through advocacy, education, peace building and sustainable livelihoods. Ultimately, we envision a democratic and peaceful society engaging in sustainable development.

To achieve this, we use a number of approaches. From football for peace to working with community members in the fight to end FGM, we ensure that our projects are guided by the direct beneficiaries and this allows us to maximise our results.
