Welcome to this week’s Humans of the Hub post! This weeks’ innovator is Tim Kreuk.
Tim is the Head of the HALO Trust’s European Office, he joined the HALO Trust in 2017 and the organisation joined the Humanity Hub last August.
Tim’s background is originally in the military as an engineer officer, where he was deployed to conflicts such as Iraq and Chad, before then moving to the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, he realised he’d prefer to work in an area that had more impact on those whom he wanted to help, thus he moved to the HALO Trust two years ago.
HALO Trust is a humanitarian mine clearance organisation who work in current and post-conflict areas, removing land mines to decrease the risk to local communities and allow them to safely rebuild their lives.
Tim has been at the frontline of HALO Trust operations, and has worked in Zimbabwe with women from the local community to painstakingly scour the land for potential landmines.
Since joining the Humanity Hub, Tim has fully immersed himself in our community.
