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.
