Our Story
Established in 2003, rooted in communities

Over more than two decades, HNN has worked as a trustworthy, grassroots-oriented implementing organisation: generating knowledge on the issues facing informal-sector workers, strengthening community leaders and member-based organisations, supporting communities during emergencies, and promoting sustainable livelihoods for vulnerable families in both rural and urban areas.
