About us

The Humanity Share was founded on one simple principle: Take what you know and use it for good. Since 2007 we have worked hand-in-hand with East African communities to break cycles of poverty and build sustainable, equitable futures. Through our work in East Africa, we aim to inspire a global community that leverages the power and importance of community-led transformation.

Community-led transformation

How we work

Trusted partnerships and a belief that each community knows their needs best are at the heart of community-led transformation. We respond to the complexity of chronic poverty through a holistic, three-part strategy that addresses access to basic needs, provides quality education, and generates sustainable income. Through local leaders, we aim to empower each partner community to create their own sustainable change.

united by a common goal

Partner communities

True partnership is built on community, dignity, and trust. We believe that these should be freely given, not earned, and are at the core of everything we do. Our partner communities each hold a unique vision for their own communities and understand the resources required to effect long-term change. We are here to advance their visions by listening, collaborating and helping secure what they need.

"I want to thank you so much, because we finally got clean water. We finally got clean water and we will no longer fetch or drink dirty water. My home is quite near to this water source. In approximately three minutes, I can reach the water point and fetch clean water behind me. We are so grateful, as the Inkuseron community, and we want to thank you so much."
