History

Green Hope  is a non-profit organisation registered in Brussels, Belgium., The  since 2011. The organisation was founded by Somali diaspora who migrated to Belgium during the Somalia civil war. Initially, Green Hope’s work focused on humanitarian activities aiming of helping the rural, predominantly tribal citizens with financial support to enable them to feed them. Over the years, however, it became clear that this charity activity  was not contributing enough to bringing change on the families on ground due to myriad problems surrounding the aid  recipients
