Why a Hope Shop?

In Somalia, where consecutive droughts and ongoing violence have left women raising large families as both the sole carer and breadwinner, our Hope Shops are a lifeline. When you gift this item, you are helping widows and other displaced women run small businesses in IDP camps. Our team constructs a shop, provides the owner with business training and supplies her with the initial stock.

What will your gift do?

The benefits these shops provide, extend far beyond the owner, giving stability to her children and extended family and providing other displaced women in the camps with essential items like flour and cooking oil at affordable prices and right on their doorstep.
