Agency - International Humanity Foundation - IHF

"IHF strives to educate the poor and to teach the educated about the poor; for a world of more enlightened and experienced "everyday people" - leaders working to reduce poverty and abuse."

Description:
International Humanity Foundation is a unique organization. It believes in absolute transparency and functions almost entirely through the efforts of its hundred plus unpaid volunteers from all over the world, who give their time, skills, energy and love to help our family in Kenya, Thailand and Indonesia.

Half of IHF's mission is to educate the poor and the other half is to educate the world about the poor. Our vision is to strive for a world of leaders and citizens who have interacted with, and are truly knowledgeable about the world's poor. We believe in a "pass it on" philosophy where education is free and available for all who seek it. Those of us who have received a free education pass it on by helping others less fortunate by teaching, interacting and learning. With just a few hours a week, our volunteers, children and sponsors are changing the world we live in.

IHF is a non-religious, non-political, non-profit organization that strongly believes in an equal opportunity for all and in preserving the cultures, traditions and beliefs of the marginalized communities it works in.

History:
IHF is led by Carol Sasaki, who moves between these homes as well as into outer areas, working with various tribes. She has been doing the work of IHF for 24 years.

IHF has offices in Indonesia, Kenya, Thailand and a small part time volunteer office in San Diego, California, in the United States. But our true workplace is online and all over the world, consisting of people like you who are interested in learning more about this world's many varied cultures.

IHF has been run for years only by Carol and locals around the centers who learn through trial and error. In the last few years, volunteers worldwide have also joined in and gained knowledge through personal experience.
