What we do

The HALO Trust strives to help people that have been affected by conflicts and emergencies around the world. We help them to rebuild their homes, restore their livelihoods, and keep their children safe.

We've worked in more than 40 countries and territories since 1988, from Kosovo to Colombia, Sri Lanka to Sudan.  We employ and train local people, empowering communities and transforming futures.
