Ms. Lul Hassan Mohamed, the Managing Director of HURMA Consulting, stands as a beacon of hope and empowerment for minority and marginalized communities in Somalia. With a profound understanding of the challenges faced by these groups, she has dedicated her life to advocating for their rights and promoting inclusivity.

Born and raised in Somalia, Lul experienced firsthand the barriers that hindered the progress of marginalized communities. Fueled by a passion for positive change, she embarked on a mission to uplift these communities and create opportunities for them to thrive. Throughout her career with organizations such as CSET Seed Production Ltd, Minority Rights Group International, Danish Refugee Committee, and in the private sector, she has been a tireless advocate for marginalized groups.

Lul’s entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to biodiversity conservation led her to become a prominent figure in the agribusiness sector in Somalia. Through her endeavors, she has not only created sustainable livelihoods but also empowered local farmers, particularly those from minority backgrounds, by providing training, resources, and access to markets. Her participation in smart agriculture projects has strengthened the capacities of small-scale women farmers and local communities, contributing to agricultural security despite the challenges posed by climate change.

In addition to her entrepreneurial pursuits, Lul is a passionate advocate for marginalized  and mnority groups, amplifying their voices and pushing for policy reforms to address their needs. Her advocacy work focuses on raising awareness about the challenges faced by minority communities and promoting a more inclusive society. As a respected leader in both business and advocacy, Lul Hassan Mohamed continues to inspire others through her dedication, innovation, and unwavering commitment to building a more equitable and prosperous Somalia. 

Ms Lul is persueing her Master’s degree in Horticulture as her existing passion for agriculture, biodiversity conservation, and her commitment to enhancing agricultural security against the backdrop of climate change. This advanced degree will not only deepen her technical expertise and research capabilities but also empower her to innovate further in the agribusiness sector. With her focus on empowering local farmers, especially women and those from minority backgrounds, her advanced studies could introduce new, sustainable farming techniques and crop varieties better suited to local conditions and climate resilience. Additionally, this could enhance her leadership in the field, enabling her to contribute more significantly to policy dialogues and strategic frameworks that support the agricultural sector in Somalia, driving forward initiatives that ensure food security, economic growth, and community development.
