Open Desk at StartupLabs with Mariwan Baker
On this edition of Open Desk Minc is hosting Mariwan Baker, Founder and Chairman of Bring Hope Humanitarian Foundation (BHHF), an International Charity organization (founded in 2015 by a former refugee), with Headquarters based in Malmö. You can come and talk to Mariwan about the following topics:
- The power of HOPE to reach your goals
- Innovations in the Humanitarian World
Mariwan Baker has been involved in various humanitarian efforts since the late 1990’s. As a survivor of the 8-year Iran-Iraq war, the chemical attack on Halabja, the Kuwait war and massive Kurdish exodus during the first Gulf War, Dr. Baker sought to always provide assistance to others in need. In 1992, at age 19, he migrated to Sweden and remained refugee for three years, living in eight different refugee camps outside of the city of Stockholm.
Dr. Baker, now holder of a PhD and two master’s degrees from Scandinavia, left a decade long medical career to dedicate his time to serving humanity by establishing Bring Hope Humanitarian Foundation.
