In Ukraine, we see a story echoed in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, South Sudan, and other places around the world: citizens carrying the extraordinary burden of conflict. Crouched in makeshift shelters in Mariupol, fleeing government crackdowns in Khartoum, or growing up in squalid Rohingya refugee camps, the people most affected by violence face unimaginable choices.

In times like these, our organization's name, Humanity United, is a reminder of the inherent value of each person and the shared humanity that unites us all. We are determined to honor this, working toward a future of enduring peace and freedom. HU not only supports partners working to alleviate suffering now, but we are also committed to supporting those that name and tackle the root causes of violence and exploitation.
