How Much Should I Give?

1 - £500 or more

2 - £100 or more

3 - £50 or more

Last year the biggest single donation was £1000! There are more suggested amounts below for the two respective appeals. Scroll down to the bottom if you would like to donate to a Regional Page, otherwise click on Give Now and make a difference in the world today!

Türkiye and Syria Appeal

The deadly earthquake that struck Türkiye and Syria in February 2023 has left many people devastated and without shelter, food and clean water. Since the earthquake was first reported, Humanity First has been working on the ground in coordination with local authorities to provide urgent humanitarian aid. So we urge you to give generously to make a real impact and help the local communities rebuild their lives.

- a £500 donation will help rehouse a family from a tent to a permanent structured accommodation

- a £250 donation will help support and orphan in school for a year, supporting costs for books, materials and other basic support.

Humanity First Masroor Centre for Healthcare

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in any hospital provides critical care to some of the most seriously ill patients who require close monitoring. The ICU in this hospital will be a 4 bedded ICU for medical and surgical needs. By raising money for this important part of the hospital, you can make a real difference in many peoples lives. Due to your fantastic efforts last year, we have raised £35k so far which has already gone towards the construction of the hospital. We need to raise another £40k as the remainder of our target.

It is easy to take for granted what it means to have access to healthcare, so give generously as every pound you donate goes a long way to help provide sustainable and affordable healthcare to the local people of Abidjan.

Sustainability

One of the reasons we love this project so much is the Sustainable Development element of this project:

1 - Environment Humanity First are aiming to build this hospital using sustainable techniques to ensure a minimal carbon footprint, and the careful consideration of natural light and green spaces in the design of the hospital.

2 - Social Equity the project aims to empower local communities, by creating employment and training opportunities and providing healthcare to all people irrespective of a persons religious beliefs, ethnicity, or background.

3 - Economic sustainability the aim of the hospital is to be financially independent so that it can fund itself without further support once launched.

These three elements mean that your donation will have a long-lasting impact for many, many years to come, inshaAllah.
