What Makes Us Different

Holistic care.
Led by locals.

Foreign aid today is often siloed.

Mental health is detached from hunger. Camps lack economic opportunities. Bandaids instead of paths to wholeness. Something has gone terribly wrong.

But HUMANITE is different.

As a global collective of local donors, volunteers, and professionals like you, HUMANITE is dying to close the gaps made by war.
‍

But where others might see problems to solve, HUMANITE sees neighbors to love. And people need peace. Not piecemeal help.

That’s why every program is either building on, or building toward our long history of impact in a specific place. Holistic, full-cycle care helps remove the waste of foreign aid and increases your impact 10X!

Yes! I’m ready to help! ▸
