Amahoro Coalition and Hormuud Salaam Foundation Partner to Expand Economic Opportunities for 10,000 Forcibly Displaced People in Somalia
Mogadishu, Somalia – 20th October, 2025 – Amahoro Coalition and Hormuud Salaam Foundation (HSF) have announced a strategic partnership to expand economic opportunities for up to 10,000 forcibly displaced persons (FDPs) and host community members in Somalia over the next five years.
The partnership brings together Amahoro’s regional expertise in inclusive employment and private sector engagement with HSF’s deep local reach and commitment to community empowerment. Together, they will co-design and implement initiatives focused on job creation, access to finance, and affordable housing – with a shared goal of building a more resilient, self-reliant Somali economy.
Founded in 2013, Hormuud Salaam Foundation is the social impact arm of Hormuud Telecom, Somalia’s largest telecommunications company, and Salaam Somali Bank, the country’s first privately owned bank. Guided by its principle of “Local help for local people,” HSF has become one of Somalia’s leading foundations in education, healthcare, and job creation, directly supporting thousands of Somali families each year.

Through this new collaboration, Amahoro Coalition and HSF will align their efforts to foster sustainable livelihoods – including the creation of pathways to formal employment, entrepreneurship training, and access to microfinance for youth and displaced populations. The partnership also aims to unlock blended finance models and strengthen Somalia’s private sector capacity to drive inclusive growth.
“This partnership represents a powerful alignment of vision – Somali-led solutions for Somali challenges,” said Isaac Kwaku Fokuo, Curator, Amahoro Coalition. “Together, we are demonstrating how private sector leadership can create meaningful, lasting impact.”
Abdullahi Nur Osman, CEO of Hormuud Salaam Foundation, added: “At HSF, we believe that real change begins at the community level. By joining forces with Amahoro, we are taking a bold step toward enabling thousands of Somali families to access dignified livelihoods and secure a better future.”
The Amahoro – HSF partnership is part of Amahoro Coalition’s broader regional strategy to mobilize the private sector as a driver of inclusion and opportunity for displaced and marginalized youth across Africa.
