About Us

About Us

Background

Horn Aid and Development Action (HADA) emerged from a collective vision to address the pressing humanitarian and development challenges facing Somalia and the broader Horn of Africa region. Founded in 2019, HADA was born out of a deep commitment to alleviating suffering, promoting human dignity, and fostering sustainable change in some of the most vulnerable communities.

In response to these challenges, HADA was established as a non-governmental organization (NGO) with a clear mandate to deliver humanitarian assistance and advance development initiatives in a manner that is inclusive, accountable, and sustainable. Drawing on the expertise and dedication of its founders and stakeholders, HADA set out to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and communities across Somalia. 

 

Over the years, HADA has grown and evolved, expanding its reach and impact through strategic partnerships, innovative programs, and a steadfast commitment to its core values. From emergency relief efforts to long-term development projects, HADA has remained at the forefront of efforts to address food insecurity, water scarcity, health disparities, displacement, and other pressing issues facing the region.
