About us

Our background

‘Humanitarian support for people in poverty and need’ is the name of the foundation, which was set up at the end of December 2014.

The foundation is focused on working with people in need, decides specifically which projects are to be implemented and uses the experience of local organizations.

The founder and board of directors are personally involved in the projects, which extend from Nepal (Upper Dolpo, Himalayas), through India (Varanasi and Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh) to Nigeria (Afikpo, Ebony State region).

As a small organization, the HUMAN Foundation is particularly distinguished by the fact that 100% of donations flow into the projects and we transparently implement forward-looking projects with local partners in disadvantaged and very remote regions.

Our Vision

“Give Children a Future” is the vision of the Board of the HUMAN Foundation. We have a stand for focused education, equality, peace and freedom, equal opportunities, tolerance and strengthening the community.

We see our foundation as a contribution to more humanity in a peaceful and just world.

We set up this foundation out of gratitude because we have achieved a lot in our own lives and live a happy life, but also assume social responsibility towards our fellow human beings. With this foundation we want to make a contribution to people in poverty and need who are not allowed to live above the poverty line.

Our Mission

Together with our local partner organizations in India, Nepal and Nigeria, we develop the appropriate strategies and programs.
We work closely with government agencies and also create jobs for the local population.

Through personal contact with the families, teachers and Government authorities, we know the needs of the people and can respond to them with our wide range of relief measures.

Targeted education, training and support for children, young people and women in social and financial need is our service offering to enable these people to live a self-determined life.

Based on defined criteria and regular reports we measure the effectiveness of our actions.

Teachers at the Shree Shelri Drugdra Schule, Nepal

The teachers in Saldang are representative of all teachers in Saldang, Nyisal and Lhuri. We appreciate and admire this enormous commitment and their great experience in this difficult environment in the Upper Dolpo at an altitude of 4,000 meters!

The school in Amuro is a public school. The teachers are paid by the Government, however, they are important partners for us in the modernization of the school complex. With the construction of a new plant for pure drinking water, we will employ more than 15 staff.

Our Supporters

‘You cannot help everyone,’ says the narrow-minded and does not help anyone. This quote comes from the writer Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach.

Without the financial help of our great supporters, the projects would not be possible. We want to express our gratitude by introducing smaller companies and individuals, and by letting some private donors speak about why they support the HUMAN Foundation. The many unnamed supporters are of course just as valuable for the success of our work.
