Our Mission

Horn of Africa is the lead community-based organization in San Diego providing culturally and linguistically relevant services to East African refugees and immigrants with a focus on the Somali refugee community. We advocate for just policies in the U.S. and in the Horn of Africa that support human rights, economic development, liberty, democracy and religious freedom for East African refugees and immigrants. Horn of Africa strives to help refugees with the assimilation and acculturation process to the U.S. in order to successfully empower families to have a new life in America while preserving and celebrating their East African/Somali culture and heritage.

Our Vision

Horn of Africa is the leading community-based organization representing and advocating for the comprehensive and diverse needs and opportunities of African refugees and immigrants in San Diego, with a particular emphasis refugees from Somalia. We are the primary and preferred resource for services to the African refugee community and the lead partner for collaboration with both other African community-based organizations and mainstream institutions. The Horn of Africa will advocate and serve African refugee families across the continuum of needs and will reach out to families in Somalia to assist in relief and immigration. As the lead agency for the African refugee community in San Diego, Horn of Africa will strive to involve the African refugee community in its work and to advocate for more just and fair policies both in the United States and in Africa to support social justice and the preservation of African values and culture.
