About Shoshan
“Shoshan is the kind of person who puts her heart and soul into everything she does,” said Aviv Havron, Shoshan's brother and an Israeli Journalist.
Dr. Shoshan Haran holds a Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in plant protection, and was awarded a Fulbright grant for post-doctoral fellowship at Rutgers University, New Jersey.
Haran is the founder of Fair Planet, an internationally acclaimed farming project that over the last decade has enabled tens of thousands of previously impoverished farmers to earn a good living while providing an estimated million Africans with a reliable source of food. Now, with Haran being held hostage, it — like her life — is suddenly in jeopardy.

The October 7th Massacre
Family members who were kidnapped or murdered in their homes in Kibbutz Be'eri

"Shoshan Haran’s sunroom in her home in the Be'eri kibbutz was lined with orchids — so many, because her neighbors often brought their sickly plants to rehab under her care.
Today most of the house lies in black ash, torched by Hamas terrorists who are believed to have kidnapped Shoshan and her extended family of 10 into Gaza on Oct 7th — the day Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,400 people and plunging the area into war." (Andrea Mandell, People)
How can I help?
Shoshan, along with her daughter and three grandchildren, all have German citizenship. Members of the family several days ago met with Germany’s ambassador in Israel in order to urge him to do all he could to help the hostages.
To this end, a private and professional headquarters was established working with them to achieve this goal. The headquarters consists of dozens of professionals in various fields - communication and digital, spokespeople, public relations, law.
Contributions will be used for various activities aimed at bringing back Shoshan and other hostages safe and sound:
Lobby foreign diplomats
Cover travel expenses
Global media outreach
Conduct legal activities worldwide
Public relations and strategy
Rehabilitate the family in Israel
