"To serve disaster struck and socially disadvantaged individuals and families in the poorer communities of the Republic of the Marshall Islands"
Drawing strength from our global resources, we aim to relieve suffering caused by natural disaster and human conflict, promote peace and understanding, and strengthen Marshallese capacity to help themselves
We depend on our individual donors and corporate sponsors for fundraising, volunteer recruitment, and building awareness about community needs to keep administrative costs low
Humanity First started formally as a registered charity in 1994 in the U.K. Since its inception, HF has responded to several disasters and served hundreds of thousands of victims in various affected communities. Soon, the organization’s scope of operations expanded beyond disaster relief to several sustainable human development projects and initiatives around the world.
Today, Humanity First is registered in 43 countries across 6 continents. Its operations are primarily funded by grass root donations from individuals, corporate gift matching, and various other grants. The dedicated volunteers of Humanity First are the force behind the good work that the organization delivers, who bring their professional industry experience to the benefit of the affected communities.
Humanity First USA was incorporated in the United States in 2004 as a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization (EIN# 20-0464012). Since then, HFUSA has served in disaster and human development areas within the US as well as in several other countries around the world. These include serving the victims of Asian tsunami in Indonesia, Floods in Guyana, hurricane Charlie and Katrina in the US, South Asian earthquake, Peru earthquake, Bangladesh cyclone Sidr, etc. It has also supported several elementary schools in the low-income metropolitan areas around the US. Humanity First has also established and is running several vocational training centers in Guyana, Liberia, and several other locations around the world.
Humanity First Marshall Islands received charter of incorporation as a non-government charitable organization on March 23, 2013. However, the organization has been providing services for people of the Marshall Islands since February 2011 under Humanity First USA. Humanity First Marshall Islands provides health education and outreach, remedial education for children, including computer training and access, homework and tutoring, and feeds needy children and adults.
