 Harambee 4 Humanity
means ‘pulling together’ in Kiswahili. Our main
objective is to collaborate with individuals and communities
to ensure that their basic rights are met so they can achieve
their full potential and lead and participate in their own
sustainable development.
The work that we do is developmental. That means we do not impose
ideas simply because we believe they will be effective, or because
they have proven successful in other places. We are here to support,
facilitate, guide, coordinate, and act as a resource and liaison
on community-led initiatives. While we are committed to responding
creatively to needs and challenges that arise, and making suggestions
based on best practices and lessons learned, ultimately our role
is to enable, not direct.
H4H strongly believes in the power of networking and peer education.
In order to strengthen the capacity of individuals and communities
to carry out sustainable development projects successfully, where
appropriate, we will facilitate the sharing of knowledge and
best practices, and offer opportunities for mentorship and training.
One of H4H’s guiding principles is that all areas of our
lives are interconnected. We are committed to responding to challenges
and opportunities in a holistic and sustainable manner. With
every project we collaborate on, we will consider the environmental
impact, and where possible, seek opportunities to reduce harm,
and increase potential benefits to the natural world.
