NADA basic facts

NADA was founded in 1993 in Helsinki, by a group of ordinary people who got frustrated with the war in Bosnia and the ignorant attitude of the rest of the world. In 1995 NADA was divided int three organizations, as some people were active in Helsinki, others up in the north of Finland. At the sam time the name was changed to NADA HOPE r.f.
The name was given to our organization by a bosnian refugee, who said that as one of our purpouses is to give hope to people who suffer due to war and other crises, NADA would be a suitable name as it means "hope" in serbian and croatian.
When we needed to have another name, the president of NADA added the meaning of NADA in english, and so we became NADA HOPE..
