Our Mission
Why we exist
Founded by activist Lovette Jallow, Action for Humanity was created to provide direct aid and human rights advocacy for communities in humanitarian crises that are often overlooked by mainstream relief efforts. We believe in the dignity of all people and their fundamental right to safety, care, and respect.
Our work addresses critical gaps in humanitarian crisis response, particularly in situations involving refugees, migration, displacement, and human rights violations. We combine emergency relief with strategic advocacy to address both immediate needs and systemic causes of humanitarian emergencies.
Libya Migration Crisis Response
Our humanitarian work in Libya focuses on providing emergency aid and human rights monitoring in detention centers and along migration routes. We deliver critical medical supplies, food, clean water, and hygiene products to refugees and migrants in crisis while documenting human rights abuses and advocating for policy changes.
