Who we are
HUMANITY FOUNDATION – Charitable Organizations in India For Women Empowerment & Child Education
HUMANITY FOUNDATION is a not-for-profit organisation working in India for 20 years, focusing on alleviating poverty and social injustice. We do this through well planned and comprehensive projects in health, education, livelihoods and disaster preparedness and response. Our overall goal is the empowerment of women and girls from poor and marginalised communities leading to improvement in their lives and livelihoods.
During FY 2019-20, We directly reached out to 10.4 million people directly through 53 projects across 19 states, covering more than 90 districts. We are working in 100 countries for a world where all people live with dignity and security.
OUR WORK DURING COVID-19
Providing food, medicine and hygiene kits
We’re also committed to continuing our fight against hunger, so we're keeping our programmes running through this new crisis. Even with travel restrictions and lockdowns, we’re in some of the hardest to reach places ensuring children and their families receive the vital care they need.
Providing transport in lockdown
This is especially true in Uganda, where the government’s strict lockdown banned the use of public transport – including ‘boda’ motorbikes, which many people rely on to travel. For rural communities, this made accessing vital services – markets and healthcare facilities, for example – a real struggle.
Antenatal care and medical testing
Due to lockdown and fear of coronavirus, there has been a reduction in the number of pregnant women accessing ANC (antenatal care) check-ups and delivering babies in health centres. In the last quarter, the team have delivered 55 babies and delivered family planning, ANC and PNC check-ups, and immunisation of children.
OUR MISSION
We Build Families for Children in Need
We work for children who are orphaned, abandoned or whose families are unable to care for them. We give these children the opportunity to build lasting relationships within a family. Our family approach in the SOS Children's Village is based on four principles: Each child needs a mother, and grows up most naturally with brothers and sisters, in their own house, within a supportive village environment.
We Help them Shape their Own Futures
We enable children to live according to their own culture and religion, and to be active members of the community. We help children to recognise and express their individual abilities, interests and talents. We ensure that children receive the education and skills training they need to be successful and contributing members of society.
We Share in the Development of their Communities
We share in community life and respond to the social development needs of society's most vulnerable children and young people. We establish facilities and programmes that aim to strengthen families and prevent the abandonment of children. We join hands with community members to provide education and health care, and respond to emergencies.
