Norwegian Humanitarian Enterprise

Norwegian Humanitarian Enterprise

Norwegian Humanitarian Enterprise (NHE), part of Normisjon, an organisation within the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Norway, was established in 1994, in the aftermath of the Nagorno-Karabakh War, to give aid to internally displaced persons within Azerbaijan. Another branch of Normisjon, Viator Mikrokredit Azerbaijan, runs a bank in the town of Shaki near Kish.[1]
