HAPANI is an inclusive, non-governmental organisation committed to supporting and empowering individuals from the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and Sudan) and beyond in Northern Ireland.

By actively providing quality services based on integration and equality, we believe that every refugee, asylum seeker and African person in Northern Ireland deserves a voice regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, religion or social background.

HAPANI is dedicated to building an equal and integrative future for people from HoA and beyond in Northern Ireland, on a foundation of research, open communication and first-hand experience.

Support

HAPANI uses a broad knowledge base along with open communication with public bodies to respond to the needs of refugees, asylum seekers and other HoA individuals.

Accessing primary or secondary healthcare, for instance, is not an option for destitute asylum seekers elsewhere in the UK, and we have helped individuals access these vital services

Awareness

We believe that every person from the HoA or any other part of the world has the right to reside in a community where they are safe from prejudice. Unfortunately, hate crimes and intimidation do occur in NI, and HAPANI works with the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive to assist in the reporting and prosecution of perpetrators.

Operating Monday and Thursday from 4.30pm to 7.00pm, projects such as the Homework Club are an important part of social integration and educational development for refugee children.

Partnerships

HAPANI’s partnerships with local organisations are a key factor in ensuring that refugees from HoA and beyond have access to relevant support and public services.
