About SOMHOPE
Building Hope Beyond Today
Somali Hope is committed to the care, protection, education, health and long-term development of Somali orphans.
Who We Are
We are a Somali non-profit humanitarian organization dedicated to protecting and developing the future of orphaned and vulnerable children.
Why SOMHOPE Exists
Orphaned children need more than temporary aid — lasting care, education, health, protection and a clear path to self-reliance.
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.
Philosophy
"An orphaned child does not need help for today alone; they need hope for tomorrow." Today's support must build the person the child will become.
