What Makes Us Different

Temporary Support vs Long-Term Support

SOMHOPE chooses to build a future, not only fill today’s gap.

Temporary support

  • Food for today
  • One-time assistance
  • Short-term response

The SOMHOPE model

  • Ongoing care and protection
  • Education and health
  • Skills and work pathways
  • Long-term self-reliance

The Foundation

Somali Hope for Orphans

The Somali Orphans Hope Organization is a Somali humanitarian non-profit dedicated to protecting, caring for and advancing the future of orphaned and vulnerable children.

We work so every orphaned child has the chance at a dignified life: quality education, healthcare, nutrition, community protection, skills and the capacity for self-reliance.

“Every child is a person with a name, dignity, ability, hope and a future.”

Vision

That every Somali orphaned child receives care, education, health, protection and the opportunity to build a dignified, self-reliant future.

Mission

To organize Somali communities at home and abroad, businesses, the diaspora and humanitarian partners into a transparent, lasting system that sponsors Somali orphaned children and supports their education, health, nutrition, protection, skills and development until they achieve self-reliance.
