The Humanitus Foundation empowers indigenous communities and individuals through appropriate education for all. We work alongside many agencies, CBOs, NGOs, government ministries, education providers and individuals who share our goal of empowerment through education. Our current focus is SE Asia. Humanitus is headquartered in Melbourne and maintains an office in Sumatra and Germany.

Humanitus is a registered, community-specific, not-for-profit Non-Governmental Organisation and works within communities at all levels to achieve shared goals.

Humanitus is a fully transparent foundation and undertakes only projects which have solid support at all levels. To achieve this, Humanitus works with governments, NGOs, local communities, individuals and other interested parties during all phases of its projects, from concept to implementation.

Our projects involve the training of members of local communities to maintain our projects on a self-funded basis. Humanitus works alongside CBOs and NGOs which continue work on specific projects. Other partners are NGOs, institutions and bodies which work alongside Humanitus on individual projects. Only by doing so can Humanitus achieve its goal of appropriate education for all.

It was an authentic, real-life learning experience which students found highly engaging. They were actively involved in the planning and decision-making processes which are important skills for life-long learning. This was valuable with helping students and staff maintain their awareness of events in the world. Each school house operated a stall which students visited in their class groups. Stalls ranged from second-hand toys, lollies and cakes, coin toss, a handball competition to wet sponge throwing and a sausage sizzle. 

This project was valuable by enhancing an understanding of important global issues related to water and how students can make a difference. While the children had a lot of fun, central to the project was a strong sense of purpose to guide and motivate the awareness of issues related to water. Humanitus believes the program can be ongoing and the children will see over the next couple of years how they have improved the lives of the children at this school in Uganda.

Money raised through the project will provide a school in Kamwenge with fresh water and solar lighting.
