Our work
What we do
Project Humanity e.V. provides food, clothing, school supplies and healthcare for the poorest of the poor in the slums of Africa, regardless of religious preference or tribe. As a non-profit organization, every donation goes towards fighting extreme poverty in Africa.
You can see our current campaigns and their live totals on the donation page.
Why Africa
Africa holds vast natural resources, yet its people are among the poorest in the world. Average income per person on the continent is around US$3,000 a year — roughly a tenth of the figure in the European Union — and over the past two centuries that gap has widened rather than closed.
In the UN Development Programme's 2025 Human Development Index, 23 of Africa's 54 countries fall into the “low human development” category. But poverty is never only a number on an income chart: it shapes every part of a person's life, from whether their children eat and go to school to whether a treatable illness becomes fatal.
Project Humanity e.V. works to change that — providing food, clothing, school supplies and healthcare to people in need, regardless of religion or tribe.

What we do in Sudan
Sudan is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world today.
Sudan has endured decades of civil war. After long-time president Omar al-Bashir was removed in 2019, a fragile transition was cut short by a military coup in 2021. Since April 2023 the country has been engulfed in a full-scale war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, now in its fourth year. Sudan sits near the bottom of the Human Development Index, ranked 176th of 193 countries.
Of Sudan’s roughly 51 million people, 33.7 million need humanitarian assistance in 2026 — more than in any other country, and about half of them children. Some 14 million people have been forced from their homes since April 2023: around 9 million remain displaced inside Sudan, the world’s largest internal displacement crisis, and about 4.4 million have fled to neighbouring countries. Roughly one in four Sudanese is now displaced.
About 19.5 million people — two in every five — face acute food insecurity, and an estimated 4.2 million children are expected to suffer acute malnutrition this year, more than 825,000 of them severely. Project Humanity is committed to helping the people of Sudan meet these needs and rebuild their lives.
