In times of disaster we aim to minimize human suffering and material losses by offering emergency relief services. We continue to provide our long term relief through post disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction projects. We work in collaboration with other humanitarian agencies and follow internationally recognized standards in humanitarian response.

Humanity First has provided relief to victims of earthquakes, Tsunami, Typhoons, Hurricanes, Floods, Drought and outbreak of disease. We have responded in following countries:

Haiti, Nepal, Japan, USA, Philippines, Pakistan, India, Nigeria, Niger, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Chad, Cameroon, Belize, Ecuador, Indonesia, Fiji, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

We take “water” for granted. Turn the tap water is there! Don’t like tap water – buy bottled water! Getting clean drinking water is assumed as our right. Imagine a different world – A world without water! No taps – No bottled water. If you need water you will have to walk 5 or 10 kilometers to get it. There are places in the world where clean water is only a dream. There are many communities in the world who are deprived of basic necessities of life.Humanity First brings water to these deprived communities. Humanity First drills water wells, bore holes and installs and repairs hand pumps to provide clean drinking water in remote villages and poor communities in Africa, South East Asia and Central/South America.Humanity First offers following water solutions:

• Hand Pumps
• Bore Holes with Electrical Motors
• Water Wells

We dream of a future where no one is without a shelter, no one sleeps hungry and no child goes to school without breakfast. Until then, Humanity First will continue to help people living below the poverty line by putting food on their table through food support programs, such as food banks, mobile meals, and bulk distribution of food in the poor communities.

We provide food hampers containing non-perishable food items to individuals and families struggling for daily sustenance.Humanity First Food Bank delivers food hampers to those who are in need and cannot reach a food bank due to physical disability or lack of transportation.
