Sahara Hustlers Association, SHA is a Non-Governmental organization which was founded by returned irregular migrants, now settled in Africa who had travelled irregularly through the Sahara Desert and had attempted to travel to mainland Europe through the Mediterranean. SHA also comprises those who had once been irregular migrants in Libya and some parts of Europe. SHA is armed with a core mission – to help combat irregular migration and human trafficking and create awareness on the dangers of irregular migration. It has always been part of our mission to publicly recommend the resettlement and reintegration of irregular migrants who have been repatriated back to Africa.

SHA has competent and trusted personnel who have wholeheartedly devoted their time to assist irregular migrants who have returned back to Africa. We intend assisting these returnees and failed asylum seekers who in some circumstances become refugees in their own country. Our plan also includes helping in diverse ways to get these people back into society where they can participate in creating a very positive impact on the communities that they would eventually return to.

SHA has in the past years had several collaborations with all the main migration stakeholders in Africa, namely the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, International Organization of Migration, The European Union Office, Immigration Services, the Ministry of Interior, Centre for Migration Studies, the University of Ghana and other well-known international NGOs. SHA has also had major public relationship activities and programs on both the public and private media as well as other international media outlets.
