More information
The organization was started in 1998 with the purpose to raise funds for development projects in the third world. Humana members work with pressing issues facing humankind around the globe, primarily (although not exclusively) related to education, health (HIV/AIDS) and food security. Given the Federation’s 30 years of experience in development work, Humana organisations are known in many areas for their implementation capacity, cost efficiency, well-established track records and their close cooperation with national governments. Currently, our members operate 220 social projects reaching out to more than 7.5 million people a year within the areas of basic health, HIV/AIDS, education, human rights, agriculture, environment, relief aid and community development. Furthermore, approximately 4,5 million people are reached per year through the second hand clothes sales and distribution system. HPP employs roughly 7,000 people worldwide and engages 165,000 community-based volunteers. Major partners include: UNICEF, UNDP, UNESCO, PEPFAR, CDC, USAID, US Department of Agriculture, The World Bank; private companies, such as Johnson & Johnson; and various national and provincial governments.
