The Horn Of Africa Development Initiative is a non profit organisation in Northern Kenya. Founded by Fatuma Abdulkadir Adan in 2003, the organisation's mission is to champion justice and development in northern Kenya through advocacy and facilitation of education, community cohesion and livelihood support programs.[1][2]
The organisation is known for its use of a program known as "Shoot To Score, Not To Kill" through which football is used as a vice in the advocacy for peace among members of different ethnicities in Northern Kenya. In 2015, the organisation won a Beyond Sport Award for sport for social inclusion.[3]
