Introduction

Mission

Humans Care Foundation: House was created because of significant global problems that profoundly affect the lives of individuals, communities and even the infrastructure of entire countries. Humanitarian disasters, floods, landslides, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and droughts have claimed many lives and left entire families homeless. As a result, thousands of people around the world are forced to move in search of better conditions.

HCFH’s mission is to give a helping hand to the victims of humanitarian and natural disasters around the world. We believe that using innovative solutions made by HCF and drawing the attention of the global community we can create a sustainable future for everyone.
