Where We Work

As a member of the global HUMANITE Peace Collective, HUMANITE Canada focuses exclusively on the war in Ukraine.

HUMANITE in Ukraine

In Ukraine, 17 million people are still in need of urgent assistance, more than two years after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion. The war in Ukraine is easily among the most significant global conflicts today, with regional and global implications, making it one of the largest and most complex crises we face. 

HUMANITE works to meet the diverse challenges across different regions, with a focus on supporting the urgent needs of displaced people and rebuilding the jobs, businesses, hospitals, schools, and infrastructure that has been destroyed. Your support builds upon our ~20 years of experience in conflict zones, led by local staff and partners, demonstrating the best of who we can be together, even as the darkness dares us to be our worst.

About HUMANITE

In 2003, the U.S. invaded Iraq. Within a few years, terrorism and war defined the Middle East.

Our founders were raised and came of age in the troubles of war—Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Syria. When two moved from America to help, the group formed, learning to love their neighbours on the frontlines of the world’s most notorious wars.

Today, 20 years after they first began, HUMANITE carries on that legacy, closing the gaps that lead to violence and building the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.

"I love this team because they cared for us, as women, more than anyone else in the camp. If I could, I’d return to work with them!"

"You took care of me like I was your own son. I will never forget it."
