About Human Appeal International

Human Appeal International: A non-profit organisation working across the globe to strengthen humanity in the face of
poverty, social injustice and natural disaster.

Turning on our televisions, reading the newspapers or listening to the radio, it’s hard to miss the ongoing reports of famine,
poverty, war, exploitation, flooding and earthquakes that occupy the vast majority of our news.

We often get upset, feeling frustrated and helpless, wondering why little children should suffer when we live such luxurious lifestyles.
But just as often as we feel pity, we also forget.

We move on with our daily routines of work, family and leisure, pushing the images of destruction and pain to the back of our minds.
But at Human Appeal International we strive to go beyond the news reports. We strive to reach out to the mother, father, child, brother, sister,
daughter or son that doesn’t just hear the news but feels it and suffers from it everyday of their lives. At Human Appeal
International we concentrate on the human being at the source of our daily bulletins.

As well as the distribution of emergency supplies like food, water, medical aid and shelter we also dedicate our time to long term solutions.
We want people to live healthily on their own, without the need for continuous supplies of aid. As such we create projects that will bring long term
benefits like jobs and livelihoods, ensuring that little children grow up in safe environments and with hope for the future.

At Human Appeal International we’re working to counteract the headlines rather than forget them.
We’re investing in humanity.
