About us
Who we are
I am Hiena, the Director of Humanity Response. The birth of Humanity Response started off with my personal experience of witnessing dreams clash with harsh realities, a community of women and young people grappling with hardship. Among them were single mothers thriving to provide for their children, widows trying to navigate life alone, young people on the streets who had nowhere to go, and survivors of domestic abuse seeking a path to safety. Despite their resilience, they faced daunting challenges.
Witnessing their struggle, Humanity Response felt a deep call of action. It became clear that while many charities offered immediate relief, what was truly needed was a pathway to long-term independence and stability. Thus, the idea of Humanity Response was born – a CIC dedicated to empowering women and their children who are facing homelessness, domestic abuse, or financial difficulties. This is why; we also support their dependent children in accessing free breakfast, homework club, and uniform to help them thrive.
Humanity Response was founded in 2022, officially registered in 2024 with a vision of creating a sustainable impact. We aim to provide enterprise training and micro-grants to enable single women to start small businesses, gain essential skills, and build a future free from financial dependence. The goal was not just to offer financial aid, but to ignite hope and foster self-sufficiency.
What we do
Humanity Response was formed to respond to poverty through entrepreneurial activities and grants so that less people, particularly women and young people would gain help to become independent and improve their quality of life.
Our mission is to alleviate poverty by providing essential training and grants to underserved communities. We aim to empower individuals especially women, with the resources needed to start or expand small businesses. Through this support, we foster economic independence, improve living standards, and stimulate sustainable development, ultimately working towards a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Providing micro-grants
In exceptional cases, we will offer small business grant, allowing those who are struggling to generate income and improve their livelihoods.
Foster generational wellbeing
We will not only support women’s economic participation in their communities but also help their children access extra support to perform better in school and make them feel socially and economically accepted.
