History

edit

Sheeko was founded in 2006.[1] It was conceived as a way to counter the negative stereotypes surrounding the people from these regions.

Mission

edit

Sheeko endeavours to pull together Somalis, Eritreans and Ethiopians, or rather, the Horn of Africa collectively.[2] The term Sheeko means "narrative" or "story" in the Somali language.
