3 Humana People to People 2012 Welcome to the 2012 Report for Humana People to People I n 2012, the Humana People to People Movement implemented 550 development projects and 12 million people joined in the activities of these projects. More than 15 million people gave their used clothes and shoes to support people in other parts of the world and in so doing, also contributed to stabilizing our climate. Some of these projects and activities are highlighted in this report, but many are not, as the actions are so many and within so many different areas of development, making it impossible to cover them all. We salute everyone who contributed ideas and actions and joined hands with others to change the world around us to be a better place for all. We especially salute The Poor for their fights and their achievements. We hope you will read and enjoy the descriptions of what people in the projects are working to achieve, how they are achieving their results and what they have accomplished.

6 Building Human Capacity Human capacity is built through experiences and training. A variety of experiences as well as targeted and general training give people the tools necessary to create development for themselves, their families and their communities. Humana People to People fights with The Poor so that they are empowered to leave their status of being poor. This is done in programs where people use their own forces to change their living conditions and prospects by organizing together and continuously building new capacities. Humana People to People members place great importance on programs that build human capacity. The training to build the capacities is carried out in the form of basic school education, vocational skills training for youth, teacher training, and formal and informal training for adults in the trades of their livelihood. Capacity building is also accomplished through the continuous updating of knowledge and skills that enable people to take care of their health, promote equality between the genders and organize communities to work together to identify solutions for the issues that hinder development. Humana People to People Teacher Training The Humana People to People Teacher Training program trains primary school teachers who are determined to teach in rural areas, where teachers are most needed. The trained teachers know how to involve children and make them active in their education and community, both during and after school. The teachers-in-training also learn how to work together with fellow teachers, students, families and local authorities, organizing and implementing practical actions to develop and improve life and conditions at and around their primary school. Characteristics and qualities of the training Through the training at a teacher training college, the students acquire a broad repertoire of necessary knowledge, experiences and skills, as they: Gain a firm grip on the profession as a teacher studying and training the art and craft of teaching and learning in practice and in theory. Investigate and learn about the world and the African continent, digging into the large issues facing humankind today, and taking a stand as primary school teachers whose task it is to teach and prepare the young generations to take on the future. Study and travel in their own country, connecting with all parts of society: investigating farming, industry, schools, clinics, government agencies, and much more while meeting people from all walks of life, listening, learning and debating about the world and their own country. Learn about Solidary Humanism through studying, both in theory and in practice, the Humana People to People Charter and the human condition in rural areas and by working with people in nearby communities to improve their lives and conditions. Study and pass exams in academic subjects, utilizing and learning to produce relevant teaching materials, while bringing knowledge to the public during school practice. Learn a host of practical, organizational and leadership skills through living and working at the teacher training school (DNS) where the common meeting, consisting of all teachers and students, governs the school, and where teachers and students run the school together in all aspects: developing and working in the garden farm, doing construction work and maintenance of the buildings, taking care of outdoor areas, cleaning the school, cooking the meals, managing the economy, doing accounts and preparing the monthly status, repairing the school s bus, organizing an Open Day for the community, running youth clubs and preschools in the area, preparing Saturday s Pedagogical Sessions, and much more. Train and become skilled in working with others by being organized into Core Groups of 10 students and a teacher throughout the training; Core Groups undertake necessary tasks for the common good that can only be accomplished as a team. 6 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

The DNS teacher training program Below is an overview of the three-year DNS program. We invite you to take a few minutes to browse through the program and get a sense of its extraordinary and common-sense qualities. Humana People to People Annual Report2012 7

8 DMM The training method used at the teacher training colleges is known as DMM. DMM stands for the Doctrine of the Modern Method. It is a pedagogical system that gives the students extraordinary learning opportunities by making each student independently responsible in relation to his or her own training. In DMM, students plan their training, study and solve tasks individually (studies), receive inspired class instruction by teachers (courses), and gain personal and team experiences throughout the program (experiences). DMM is a digitally-based system. Each student has access to a computer that is connected to the school s digital library, where all contents of the three learning categories - studies, courses and experiences - are located. The digital library therefore holds the content of all the subject matters that the students will study and is always available to all. Soon after the peace agreement was signed in Mozambique in 1992, ADPP Mozambique (the Mozambican member of the Humana People to People Federation) contacted the Mozambican Ministry of Education with the aim of starting the first Escola de Professores do Futuro (EPF), a teacher training college for primary school teachers. It was a gift of peace for the people of Mozambique. It was a teacher training program specially designed for training teachers for rural primary schools, teachers with the ambition and the ability to create development, not only in the schools, but also in their communities. The first EPF school started in Maputo in In 1996, the Ministry of Education and ADPP Mozambique signed an agreement about the establishment and operation of 12 teacher training colleges, one in each province. Since then, 11 EPF schools have been established and are currently operating in Mozambique. In 1996, ADPP Angola also signed an agreement with the Ministry of Education in Angola to establish 18 EPF colleges, one in each province. In Angola there are now 14 EPF schools, with four more in the pipeline. The Humana People to People Teacher Training Movement has spread to other African countries, with colleges currently established in Malawi, Zambia, Guinea-Bissau and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition, Humana People to People India is also operating 12 teacher training colleges. The training is carried out in close cooperation with the national governments. It incorporates a country s educational requirements for teachers while signing agreements to ensure that the trained teachers can be employed in the government s national education system upon their graduation. 20 years of Humana People to People teacher training in Africa Mozambique s civil war, which lasted from 1977 to 1992, carried with it devastating human and material costs. One million people lost their lives and 3.5 million people were displaced, either within their own country or as refugees in neighboring countries. Agricultural and industrial production was destroyed, roads and other infrastructure were left unusable, and besides many other problems, the war left behind a shattered educational system with an urgent lack of schools and teachers. 8 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

9 Evaluation of the training of teachers by ADPP Mozambique A number of external evaluations on the impact of the Teacher Training Colleges in Mozambique have been made over the years. Below are two excerpts from the executive summary of a recent evaluation made in 2012, entitled Evaluation of ADPP Mozambique s teacher training programme, which was funded by DFID and conducted by Dr. Simone Doctors. About the functioning of Teacher Training Colleges (here called EPF for their Portuguese acronym): The evaluation found teacher training in the EPFs to be of an extremely high quality; it identified a series of factors which contribute to the quality of training, which are briefly presented and analysed. These are the profile and commitment of EPF trainers; the training approaches and methods used in the EPFs; the relationship between trainers and trainees; the EPF calendar and working hours; the management of EPFs; training of EPF student teachers in community development ; the use of a broad syllabus and the existence of ample opportunities for learnerdriven self study; the innovative use of ICTs and the internet in training; the inclusion in the training programme of study trips and other international influences; the physical environment of the EPFs; the inclusive approach to training; and the nature of the relationship between the ADPP/EPFs and the education authorities at national, provincial and district level. About the graduated DNS (here EPF) teachers: The evaluation revealed characteristics of the profile of EPF graduate teachers, which are briefly presented and analysed. They include the following characteristics: a tendency to demonstrate commitment and dedication to teaching and to their pupils; competence and effectiveness as teachers; a willingness and ability to work in remote and rural areas; adaptability and creativity; the ability to play several roles; the confidence to face a class from early in their training; the ability to take responsibility; and a wide outlook and horizons. EPF graduate teachers need ongoing support in order to maintain the good practices learned during their training. Two initiative introduced by ADPP to support EPF graduates are a network of EPF graduates, which has worked with around 1,500 graduates so far, and a programme known as the 400 Primary Schools Programme, which currently includes 200 schools.

10 Humana People to People teacher training in 2012 In 2012, 37 DNS Teacher Training Colleges operated by members of Humana People to People in Mozambique, Angola, Malawi, India, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea-Bissau and Zambia trained primary school teachers. ADPP Mozambique started DNS teacher training in 1993 and runs 11 colleges. ADPP Angola started DNS teacher training in 1995 and runs 12 colleges. DAPP Malawi started DNS teacher training in 2003 and runs four colleges. In 2012, DNS Teacher Training Colleges were established in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea-Bissau and Zambia with their first teams of 40 students each. In India, five new DNS Teacher Training Colleges were started in the State of Haryana, adding to the two already in operation. In total, future primary school teachers were under training in Three DNS schools in Mozambique embarked on the three-year course with new developments of the teacher training program. In June, 240 students left their schools in eight buses, fully equipped with e-book readers, tents, cooking equipment and everything necessary for studying and living life on the road in southern Africa in the first Bussing your Continent group. The students visited Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa, making investigations and learning from people and experiencing first-hand how issues are solved in different ways in neighboring countries. One World University One World University presents the students with a program that inspires while opening up to a whole new world filled with other ways of doing things and of being challenged. The program places its academic training right into our contemporary world and its human conditions. Faculty of Pedagogy The faculty started in 1998 and provides a Licentiate Degree in Pedagogy. The training aims to support graduates in professional careers within education and as instructors at teacher training colleges. In 2012, there were 94 Pedagogy students. Faculty of Fighting with The Poor The faculty started in 2008 and provides a Licentiate Degree. The training aims at creating social activists and community developers with a broad general understanding, specific knowledge of development theories and ability to put their knowledge to practical use in actions together with The Poor in their communities.in 2012, there were 98 students of Fighting with the Poor. Distance Learning OWU also provides the Pedagogy and Fighting with The Poor courses as distance learning. In 2012, 250 students from Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Europe and the USA were enrolled. In 2012, 36 Bachelors in Pedagogy and 23 Licentiates in Pedagogy or Fighting with the Poor graduated from OWU. OWU therefore reached 374 graduates in Pedagogy and 64 in Fighting with The Poor. OWU is recognized by the Ministry of Education in Mozambique as Instituto Superior de Educação e Tecnología/One World University. One World University (OWU) is ADPP Mozambique s university, training professionals within two areas: Pedagogy and Fighting with The Poor. The students are trained to become teachers at teacher training colleges as well as social activists, practicing intellectuals, fighting shoulder to shoulder with The Poor against all the effects of poverty, while creating economic development. One World University s idea is to equip students with relevant theoretical knowledge, skills and practical experience so that they become able to act with others in the present reality, implementing practical actions to respond to challenges. 10 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

11 Building human capacity in many different programs The Schools of the 2nd of May In 2011, ADPP Angola launched The Schools of the 2nd of May, a practical and theoretical secondary school with vocational skills training as an integrated part of the program. The program trains the whole person - mind, hands and heart - in a bid to graduate wellrounded, knowledgeable, capable, dynamic young people who can contribute to development in Angola. The solid foundation of theoretical and vocational skills contributes to the national work force, which is in need of skilled young people. In 2012, 355 students enrolled in grades 7 to 9 in seven Schools of the 2nd of May. They were offered skills training in the modern trades of Environment Promoter, Water Assistant, Modern Cook, Pre-school Assistant, Community Health Agent, Information and Communication Assistant, Energy Assistant and Food Producer, which are all recognized trades in the Angolan educational system. The training programs combine theoretical and practical elements, including school subjects and general knowledge. The skills training takes center stage and a fruitful exchange between studies in the classroom and practical exercises in the workshops is fundamental. Periods of internship in commercial companies, farms or institutions are included in the training. The practice periods give students experience in the reality of working life and opportunities to test what they have learnt at the school. They are valued by the schools and the businesses, as they influence the training and make it suited to the market. Children s Schools, Children s Towns and Academies for Working Children In 2012, eight Children s Schools and Children s Towns provided primary and secondary school education to vulnerable children in Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Children s Schools have day programs, providing training the traditional school subjects, but also include life skills training, sports, and cultural activities. The Children s Towns are boarding schools, providing both the education and social environment needed for children who have often lost their family and sometimes also experienced abuse, substance misuse and criminality. Six Academies for Working Children in India provided basic education to street children and working children who have not been able to attend formal schools, often because their parents are migrant workers and the children get involved in earning the livelihood for their families. The school life is organized to fit to the situation of the children, with three to four hours of training at flexible times, preparing the students to manage in government schools. Vocational Schools In 2012, eight vocational schools were training 1,500 students in Guinea-Bissau, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi and Namibia. The trades offered by the vocational schools cover Business Studies, Mechanical Engineering, Carpentry, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Hotel and Tourism, Horticulture and Water and Sanitation. The duration of training is generally one or two years. Humana People to People Annual Report

12 in the Program for Literacy and Accelerated Learning, in which successful participants reach 6th grade level over the course of three years. In Mozambique, 10,000 rural adult farmers enrolled in the literacy program and were trained in basic reading, writing and numeracy while also joining an agricultural training program. Farmers who can read and calculate are in a better position to plan their production and commercialize the produce. Humana Youth in Action Four Humana Youth in Action projects offered youth in Johannesburg and Durban, South Africa, an environment where they could train in life skills, learn cultural expressions and use these to provide important information to and influence their communities. This was accomplished through the establishment of youth clubs, street theatre plays, dance and songs. A total of 2,500 young people demonstrated the creative and constructive force that South African youth possess. Key to the whole program was the element of using culture to reach out to the community with important messages for youth and their communities, such as HIV/AIDS prevention information, teenage pregnancy messages and encouragement of youths to become enterprising in their lives. In 2012, 57,231 community members were reached through the community campaigns. Literacy programs The Frontline Institute movement Frontline Institutes run by DAPP Zimbabwe, DAPP Malawi and ADPP Angola train Humana People to People s key staff from all member associations in Africa, Asia and Latin America to be stronger activists and community leaders. The courses are six months long and the training aims to develop future project leaders and community leaders who wish to be on the frontline and to influence development. Frontline Institutes provide a global environment with diverse cultures and languages, a rich boarding experience, and life and community development experiences. Humana People to People is contributing to the eradication of illiteracy in rural and urban areas by providing adult education combined with community development work. The literacy programs have trained illiterate, young people and adults in reading and writing skills in Angola, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Malawi. In Angola, 835 trained literacy teachers provided the literacy training classes in eight provinces, involving 55,000 people. The education follows the three modules 12 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

13 In 2012, a new dynamic six-month program entitled, Our Humana People to People World was introduced as a further development of the program. It will be followed in 2013 by the newly-developed program Our Open Future Together. In 2012, 291 activists were trained at the Frontline Institutes. The Development Instructor program Development Instructors are international volunteers. They have played an important role in Humana People to People since its start in 1978, where volunteers were the majority of the people carrying out the programs. Humana People to People members have a close cooperation with schools in Europe and the USA in the training of the Development Instructor. The common structure of the Development Instructor program is three distinct periods: A training period based at the schools. A project period, Fighting with The Poor. A journal period concluding and producing materials that can bring the Development Instructor s experience to the public. The idea of the program is to gather people of different ages and professions and from several countries around important work. Through daily practice and theoretical studies in the first period, Development Instructors gather knowledge and understanding of important, current issues and what it takes to build a sustainable and functioning human society, both now and in the future. This leads to the practice period in Humana People to People projects, entitled, Fighting with The Poor. Development Instructors join forces with people in the projects to become strong enough and courageous enough to move something from one stage to another in the fights that are relevant, important and necessary to The Poor. Back at the school, the team produces The Journal with the aim of bringing the knowledge of the fight of The Poor to the public. Throughout the program, participants can be enrolled at One World University (OWU) in Mozambique as a distance learner. Humana People to People Annual Report

14 Promoting health and fighting disease People have a right to good health and the knowledge exists to overcome many of the diseases that destroy health and development for the poorer people and their communities. The health of people impacts development. A 10% improvement in life expectancy at birth can be associated with a rise in economic growth of percentage points per year, for example. And malaria in Africa alone to cite another example costs an estimated minimum of US $12 billion annually in lost productivity. Three of the eight UN Millennium Development Goals deal directly with promoting health and fighting diseases. This reflects the importance the world puts on improvements in good health and the opportunities this gives for people to be active in improving their lives and their environment. WHO estimates that HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases cause 32% of the burden of ill health in Africa and seriously impact on health in every region of the world. WHO also estimates that around 6% of the global burden of disease is related to water. Humana People to People members run programs that respond to all of these health issues. General and broad health promotion is at the basis of the Child Aid and Community Development projects. HIV and TB prevention and care is addressed in the Total Control of the Epidemic (TCE) and HOPE projects. Malaria is addressed in all programs and in specific malaria actions involving large numbers of people. The same is the case for water and sanitation, which is integrated into all programs while also being the focus for specific projects. Total Control of the Epidemic Reports from around the globe indicate that the tide is beginning to turn in the battle against HIV and AIDS. Many have contributed, but ultimately the people themselves are responsible for these achievements. Many battles have been won, but there is still much work to do. Humana People to People s Total Control of the Epidemic (TCE) program has been organizing individuals and communities in the fight against HIV and AIDS since 2000 to contribute to people s fight to get in control of the epidemic. TCE is a systematic approach to prevention and care TCE educates and mobilizes individuals in a door-todoor campaign that encourages lifestyle changes and preventative behavior. It systematically reaches every individual and household within a defined geographical area over a three-year period. TCE subdivides a region into TCE Areas, which have a population of 100,000 individuals each. TCE Areas are further subdivided into TCE Fields of 2,000 individuals. Each Field is assigned to a TCE Field Officer, whose job is to inform and counsel every individual in their Field. The officers also visit schools, workplaces, and community centers. TCE rallies highlight crucial elements in the fight against HIV, like prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, positive living, nutrition, and condom use. They empower individuals and reduce stigma. The Field Officers are the backbone of the TCE program They are carefully recruited and undergo intensive training that teaches them how to engage individuals in open discussions about HIV/AIDS and sexual behavior. Field Officers also become skilled counselors, assisting individuals in developing personal risk reduction plans and in guiding them to obtain testing or treatment. In some countries, the Field Officers are also trained in performing HIV testing and they become certified by the ministries of health of their respective country to test people in their homes. Passionate action to fight the epidemic The central theme in TCE is the necessary mobilization of the people s own forces as the central fighting power against an invisible foe. It is a principle that 14 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

15 penetrates every action and which is reflected in TCE s basic understanding that only the people can liberate themselves from the AIDS epidemic. Local volunteers, known as TCE Passionates, are key actors in the TCE effort. They are highly motivated individuals who work to establish support groups, assist communities to create vegetable gardens for the benefit of HIV-affected families, create HIV awareness among youth, advocate for condom use and many other activities. Passionates join TCE because they want to do something positive for their own community. Many of the Passionates continue fighting the epidemic in their communities after the TCE program has been completed. The individual risk reduction plans, the mobilization that takes place among all the people in a community and the extra efforts of the Passionates all work together to gain Total Control of the Epidemic and longterm sustainability. In the last decade, the global community has grown strong and forces within it have developed around fighting HIV and AIDS. It has been and continues to be a privilege of Humana People to People to be an active participant in this collective effort through TCE and other efforts. Humana People to People Annual Report

16 The TCE movement in 2012 TCE is implemented by members of Humana People to People in partnership with government ministries of health and national AIDS councils of the respective countries. People have been engaged in TCE in 12 countries since 2000: Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea-Bissau, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, China and India million people have been reached with HIV/ AIDS information and counseling. 2.5 million people have been referred for HIV testing or tested through Home-Based Counseling and Testing. More than 560,000 women have been educated about and mobilized for prevention of mother-tochild transmission services, the programs that prevent transmission of the virus from mothers to their children in connection with birth. More than 800,000 TCE Passionates have been trained and engaged in community mobilization efforts. TCE in Zambia and the advantages of Home-Based Counselling and Testing Humana People to People participated in the XIX International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C., USA in July Below are extracts from one of the two presentations given during the conference, entitled, Scaling up Total Control of the Epidemic (TCE) House-to- House HIV Testing in Zambia. The presentation was made under Track C: Epidemiology and Prevention Science, Sub Category: C25 New HIV testing and diagnostic strategies. Background: The TCE program aims to reduce the spread of HIV and its impact by systematically engaging individuals and communities to prevent the spread of the virus by taking control of their own risk factors. Home based HIV testing forms an integral part of the TCE strategy. Implemented in Zambia by Development Aid from People to People (DAPP) in close cooperation with the National Ministry of Health the TCE project provides comprehensive HIV counseling and testing at household level for the people living in Mazabuka District of Zambia. Methods: A TCE AREA of 100,000 people is divided into 50 fields of people each. A TCE Field Officer is designated to a specific geographical area with people and each TCE Field Officer (FO) provides counseling and HIV testing to members of the household, who wish to be tested. The Field Officer is trained and equipped with a kit to do home based testing according to Ministry of Health guidelines and go house to house to provide this service. In the process the people make their own risk reduction plan based on the knowledge of their HIV status. After counseling and testing, a referral system is put into n place for the individual to access existing health services. Those who test positive are encouraged to join support groups, and get a CD-4 count and their viral load measured to determine their eligibility to treatment. The Field Officer also continuously supports the individual and discusses how they can live up to their risk reduction plan whether they tested negative or positive. The Field Officer mobilizes people to support the person on antiretroviral treatment (ART) for adherence and to link up with the clinic for continuous support when needed. The community is then encouraged to be active in the fight against HIV & AIDS and join the Passion for People Movement to ensure that the community keep on being organized in the line of defense against the virus. Results: From May 2007 to June 2012, a total of 32,015 households were registered: TCE FOs carried out 827,139 visits and referred 16,745 people for ART. A total of 139,344 people were tested for HIV by a TCE Field Officer and received their results. Out of the 238,000 people living in Mazabuka district, 58% chose to be tested at home. Conclusion: The TCE home-based counseling and testing strategy has opened a new and cost effective way of reaching the rural population of Mazabuka District with basic HIV services. More than double the national HIV testing average (28% reported by WHO) were reached in people s homes in Mazabuka. Barriers of transport, confidentiality and distance to counseling and testing service may be inhibiting uptake of HIV testing in Zambia. With the huge increase in people tested because of home based testing an agreement was reached between DAPP, the District Health Management Team and CDC that DAPP/TCE set up a mobile ART team to decentralize the ART services to clinic sites in the rural areas. Before TCE assisted with mobile units it was only the Mazabuka hospital that provided ART services in the district. Now 13 mobile sites exist in Mazabuka and TCE has completed a sustainability plan with the Ministry of Health who will take over the mobile ART sites as TCE transitions to new areas. This has meant that people even in remote areas of the district have access to ART. The TCE project in Zambia is supported by the US Centers for Disease Control. 16 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

17 Promoting health and fighting disease in many different programs HOPE Humana The HOPE Humana program works with people to stop the spread of HIV and AIDS through actions, information, education and counseling programs and by creating support networks among people. The program at the HOPE Humana projects focuses the activities around Health Services, Outreach Programs and Opinion-Forming Activities. HOPE works from a project center, but the main activities take place in the surrounding communities in which activists act to prevent the spread of HIV and create support networks of people affected by HIV and AIDS. HOPE Humana engages youth, parents, grandparents, health staff, teachers, local leaders and others to carry out actions in their communities, reaching out to pregnant mothers, orphans and other vulnerable children, and people in need of care, mobilizing against stigma and discrimination, promoting anti-retroviral therapy and TB treatment adherence, educating youth on alcohol and drugs abuse, discussing with youth on how best to protect themselves against HIV and unwanted pregnancies, mobilizing people to use condoms, starting nutrition gardens and much more. In 2012, Humana People to People members implemented 25 HOPE Humana projects in Angola, Botswana, India, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Humana People to People Annual Report

18 Water and Sanitation Humana People to People has engaged with people in water and sanitation activities to protect basic health and to prevent death from water-borne diseases for more than 30 years. The water and sanitation programs build around mobilization, training and action for people to create new habits based on understanding the problems and acquiring the knowledge about what to do in response to the local challenges of inadequate sanitation and access to safe drinking water. Humana People to People members integrate water and sanitation programs in the TCE, HOPE, Child Aid, and Farmers Clubs projects and also run specific water and sanitation programs. DAPP Zambia has over a period of three years worked with 900 schools to improve WASH education and to establish improved water and sanitation facilities. Humana People to People Congo has since 2009 worked with people in three provinces to be UNICEFapproved Healthy Villages and with primary schools to be UNICEF-declared Healthy Schools. ADPP Angola, ADPP Guinea-Bissau, Humana People to People India, DAPP Malawi, DAPP Zambia and DAPP Zimbabwe are all contributing to the 7th Millennium Development Goal to halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by implementing Community- Led Total Sanitation programs, mobilizing more than 40,000 families to build latrines and create defecationfree environments over the past 2 years. Mobilizing against malaria Despite the general recognition of having brought malaria under control in China, there are still some areas with many reported malaria cases. Yunnan is the province with the highest number of malaria cases, primarily in areas along the border with Myanmar. An estimated 800,000 Chinese cross the border annually into Myanmar, and approximately 10% return to their villages in Yunnan infected with malaria. Over a period of five years, Humana People to People in China has implemented the Total Malaria Control project in 12 counties of Yunnan province, covering a population of 2,872,702 people. Malaria Control Outreach Officers visited families and spread information about malaria, how people can protect themselves from it, identifying symptoms and seeking treatment. They made school visits and also implemented community awareness events. Intensive malaria prevention, education and mobilization for early treatment programs have also been carried out in inventive programs in schools and communities in Child Aid, TCE, HOPE and Farmers Clubs in Angola, China, Namibia, Zambia, Malawi, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique. 18 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

20 Development through agriculture In the last 50 years, the world s population has doubled and an expected nine billion people will inhabit the world by Climate change is affecting agricultural production in many parts of the world, creating a need for small-scale farmers to produce effectively and adapt to the climatic situation to secure food supplies for all. One billion people out of the present seven billion people on the planet do not have enough to eat. 80% of these people live on the land and live off what they can produce from the land. They play an important role in food production, cultivating 400 million farms of less than two hectares and producing half of the world s food. The Farmers Clubs program is Humana People to People s answer to the challenges facing smallscale farmers to increase production and create sustainability in the face of climate change. The Child Aid and Community Development Projects also promote sustainable and productive farming, processing and marketing of the products through activities that strengthen the economy of the families in the programs. Farmers Clubs The Farmers Clubs is a comprehensive program that has proven effective in increasing the production of small-scale farmers in several southern African countries as well as in India and China. Farmers Clubs aim at organizing small-scale farmers to together join forces and resources to further the agricultural production of each farmer to enable them to improve their living standard. Through the program, farmers join in training to be more efficient in food production, to grow a surplus of food and to sell their produce. Farmers are introduced to low-cost solutions, low technological farming methods and financial support systems to trigger the process of economic development. Farmer families work together to improve their overall living conditions with regards to nutrition, health, disease prevention and sanitation. In the Farmers Clubs program, farmers work to increase yields, improve crop variation, raise product quality and develop simple and sustainable farming methods. They organize around securing inputs and sales and collectively bargain for better seeds and transport prices and to market their crops more effectively. In the Farmers Clubs, modern knowledge is acquired and used, results from year to year are recorded and analyzed and new methods are put into practice. More than rural farmers spread across Africa, Asia and Latin America have joined the program over the years. The program in the Farmers Clubs The activities in the Farmers Clubs develop progressively year by year. In the first year, the program focuses on training and implementing new and improved farming methods, management of the farming production, vegetable gardening for increased food security and improved family health and hygiene. The second and third year focus on diversifying production, growing cash crops and increasing income from the farm production. In subsequent years, the farmers consolidate their progress and add to their production through increased size of the areas farmed, new crops, and by processing and using market opportunities to create economic progress for their families and communities. The people in Farmers Clubs Farmers with access to land and with an interest in introducing new ways of farming join Farmers Clubs. Women and men participate as farmers. The program is designed so that it is easy and secure for women to participate and it also aims to give women an increased role in family decision making, farming production and in the community. The farmers organize together into Farmers Clubs of approximately 50 members each. They operate their Club as an informal organization or they register their Club formally and join other farmers organizations to benefit from common structures and financing opportunities. Project Leaders work with the farmers, carry out field visits on a regular basis, and are in charge of arranging training. They live and work among the farmers and are available to cooperate with the farmers to address specific issues that will help increase productivity and income. 20 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

21 They play a pivotal role in following up on the introduction of new crops and farming methods. Networking and sharing of experiences are important elements for the success and sustainability of the program. Farmers share information and experiences through their work in demonstration fields as well as regular field days and agricultural shows, which bring members of a Club together and allow them to interact and discuss and compare methods and results amongst themselves and within the community. The program strengthens the relationship between farmers groups and agricultural institutions that serve them in the local area, allowing for two-way information sharing and a genuine long-term collaboration. Linking Farmers Clubs to local government structures gives additional expertise and helps extend the life of the project beyond its implementation period. Over the 3-6 year project period, the program builds capacity in the farmers to farm productively and adapt to the climatic conditions of their area. They also learn to manage their farm and family economy, cooperate, set and achieve goals and find solutions among each other and with other players in the agricultural sector and in agro-business. Evaluation of a Farmers Clubs program in Malawi Entitled, GREEN PUMP: Affordable irrigation for smallholders combined with diversifying into nutritious crops and improving local water balances. The excerpts below are from an endof-project evaluation made in October 2011 by Development Training and Research Consultants in Lilongwe, Malawi. Development Aid from People to People (DAPP) in Malawi, with funding from the European Union (EU) has since 2008 been implementing a three-year Farmers Club program in Zomba District and in Chiradzulu District. The project intended to directly support 6,000 smallholder farmers as direct beneficiaries and a further 6,000 as secondary beneficiaries. Project Aims and Objectives The project aimed to introduce and promote systems that would enable the communities to mitigate against the impacts of frequent droughts and the continued spread of HIV that negatively affect food security and nutritional status in Malawi. Conclusions Considering the outlined objectives for the implementation of Farmers Clubs Green Pumps Project, the following were observed as the main impact areas: Crop production and value accrued increased Maize production surplus increased from metric tonnes in 2008/09 to 1,740.6 metric tonnes with cumulative of 2,600.4 metric tonnes valued at MK104,016,000 or 452, Cassava surplus production increased from 6,936.9 metric tonnes in 2008/09 to 10,761.9 metric tonnes with cumulative surplus of 29,527.2 metric tonnes valued at MK590,544,000 or 2,567, Sweet potato production surplus increased from 9,777 metric tonnes in 2008/09 to 13,768.5 metric tonnes with cumulative of 42,246 metric tonnes valued at MK844,920,000 or 3,673, These increases came from: Increase in cultivated land from ha in 2008/09, to ha in 2009/10, to ha in 2010/11. Increase in yields of main crops such as: Maize yield increased by 42% from 1,471 kg/ha in 2008/09 to 2,082kg/ha in 2010/11 Cassava yield increased by 23% from 14,025 kg/ha in 2008/09, to 17,205 kg/ha in 2010/11. Sweet potato yield increased by 16% from 13,072 kg/ha in 2008/09, to 15,047 kg/ha in 2009/10, to 15,561 kg/ha in 2010/11. Yields of the main grain legumes also increased by 410 to 810 kg/ha above the 2007/08 combined district average yields for Chiradzulu and Zomba. Household incomes increased Project beneficiary households earned an average of MK72, or which is about 72% higher than government s recommended minimum wage of K42,000 or per annum. Most of the income came from crop production, and most of the project s interventions were in crops. Humana People to People Annual Report

22 Evaluation of a Farmers Clubs program in Malawi (Continued) Food security situation improved Available own food crop produce increased for all the major crops, for example maize increased from average of 7.3 months from 2009 harvest to 8.6 months from 2011 harvest; sorghum from 6.1 to 7.1 months; groundnuts from 4.8 to 8.0 months; and soybeans from 5.9 to 8.4 months after harvest. Both adults and children consumed an average of three main meals per day A very wide range of foods were eaten by both adults and children Preservation of the Environment 85% of households participated in agroforestry tree planting 65% of the households often or always used improved stoves which use less fuel 95% were practicing Conservation Agriculture 90% made and applied manure Achieved cost efficiency per household per year total project investment cost contributed to cash returns of per household, which is very high considering that other benefits were not accounted for in the computation. Agriculture, climate change and Farmers Clubs Global warming is predicted to severely affect developing countries, where agricultural systems are most vulnerable to climatic conditions. Sub- Saharan Africa, the region with the highest proportion of undernourished people, will face a reduction of agricultural productivity between percent according to FAO. Farmers Clubs, Child Aid and Community Development Projects all promote climate-friendly agricultural practices. Farmers have changed their farming methods and this has resulted in positive changes for the environment and for the farmers yields. Some of the methods used include: Conservation Agriculture with low or no soil disturbance, maintaining soil cover (mulching) and crop rotation, which improves the CO2 balance as compared to traditional practices. Intercropping, which improves the CO2 balance as compared to monoculture. Effective use of animal manure, production of compost and planting of leguminous trees for green manure to improve the CO2 balance. Vegetable gardening, which contributes to a nutritious diet and minimizes the need to transport food supplies. Tree planting, which improves the CO2 balance, prevents soil erosion, fertilizes soil, establishes wind breaks, and provides nutritious food options. Abolition of traditional slash and burn practices, which saves CO2 emission. To avoid such a threat to food security and to reduce vulnerability, agricultural production must become more resilient and adapted to the new and changing conditions. Humana People to People members have widespread experience in designing and implementing agricultural activities that are climate friendly for the benefit of smallholder farmers. In Farmers Clubs, farmers organize and learn to use production methods that are climate friendly, sustainable, create wealth and improve health. This combination works well for the farmers. 22 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

24 Fighting shoulder to shoulder with The Poor The world has 2.3 billion children under the age of 18 who comprise one third of the global population. These children experience a very different childhood depending on whether they come from a rich or a poor family. 1.3 billion children live in relative prosperity, with access to at least seven pieces of clothes per year, food three times a day, education and adult care. At the same time, one billion children struggle for their daily survival, faced with conflict, hunger, disease, lack of medical care and little or no educational opportunities. The UN is uniting people, organizations and governments to improve conditions for children and for The Poor and as a result, much has been achieved since the creation of the Millennium Development Goals. Humana People to People is part of this fight. Fighting with The Poor is a concept that is integrated into all programs. One World University has a faculty for Fighting with The Poor. In Farmers Clubs, the smallholder farmers fight together for an agricultural production that can give them food security, an increased income and can improve their living. In TCE and other health programs, people fight together to overcome the threat of HIV and other preventable diseases that often hit The Poor harder because of their lack of opportunities to protect themselves. In the Child Aid and Community Development Projects, people organize together and work with all the issues that contribute to development for their communities, their families and their children, so that they can develop to their full potential. Development in one area such as sanitation is of course good, but when it combines with income increases, disease prevention, maternal and child health, improved social standing of women, preschool education, the active involvement of children and youth, and care for the most vulnerable in a community, these positive changes together empower people and a community to be innovative and to make lasting improvements. Child Aid and Community Development The Child Aid and Community Development programs are an integrated part of the community wherever they operate. People in their capacity as parents or simply out of their interest for the common good organize themselves into Village Action Groups and other community structures to have a forum for discussions and learning and to agree upon which practical tasks they will do in the community to improve their conditions. The Village Action Groups and other structures find solutions and create development. Over the 3-5 years that the projects run, people build their capacity to work together and to implement the cycle of identifying problems, learning about the issues and finding and implementing solutions. Child Aid and Community Development projects are organized with activities within 10 lines: 1 Strengthening the economy of the families 2 Health and hygiene - hereunder the fight against HIV/AIDS 3 Pre-schools 4 Children as active in the political, social, cultural and economic spheres of society 5 Children without parents 6 Education 7 District development 8 Environment 9 Locally defined headline 10 Locally defined headline The 10 lines of Child Aid aim at broad and long-term development through sustainable solutions that 24 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

25 are identified, decided upon in the community and implemented. As a result of carrying out the activities together, the self-organizing strength of the people is built with the active involvement of institutions like schools, clinics and government structures. The Project Leaders work alongside people in their fights, contributing to solutions and building capacity in people to identify problems and to organize actions that are likely to create improvements. With the fundamental organizational structures in place, Child Aid becomes a catalyst for a range of programs that depend on such structures for their effective implementation. Some activities in Child Aid and Community Development Projects The Village Action Groups is where the Child Aid families meet regularly. Health issues are a central part of the meetings and trainings. Prevention actions and good habits for healthy behavior such as securing basic hygiene and sanitation structures and finding solutions for clean water are central. Prevention of HIV and AIDS and caring for one s own health and that of others, fighting malaria, and maternal and child health are all issues that are integrated into project actions and the basic training program. Family economy and budgeting is part of all Child Aid projects. Strengthening the family economy is an effective way to create an environment conducive to children s growth: people with more money generally invest in education and health. Programs to improve farming, processing and marketing of products, introduction of other income generating projects, savings and loans programs, and microfinance are all activities that can serve to strengthen the family economy. Food security programs are many and varied. They are programs that promote crop diversity, sustainable farming methods that protect the environment, secure food storage and micro financing. In Child Aid, Humana People to People has incorporated its best experiences to support lasting solutions for children without parents. The programs start with the registration of the children and continue with organizing adults around the children, counseling of the children and securing schooling. They then add skills training, income generating activities, and activities that work more directly with the children to secure their basic needs and maintain their hope and prospects for the future. Child Aid s Pre-schools of the Future are so-called because pre-schoolers are the children of the future and must be trained accordingly. More than 400 preschools and 14,500 pre-school children are connected to Humana People to People members projects all over southern Africa and in Guinea-Bissau, Ecuador, India, Laos and China. Literacy classes are organized for people to learn reading and writing. These programs also focus on what people learn and how this can best be applied to their everyday lives, thus promoting further education for adults. In 2012, Humana People to People members implemented 74 Child Aid and Community Development Projects in 16 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, fighting with The Poor to overcome the challenges of being poor. More than 350,000 active families organized themselves together, learned new skills and knowledge and planned and implemented actions to improve children s lives.

26 Five years of Humana Microfinance in India Humana Microfinance empowers women economically and socially. Microfinance loans are given on business conditions, but accompanied by social support mechanisms of the women organizing together in groups. In these groups, the women are economically responsible for the loans of the whole group and for the training in their selected businesses. Humana People to People India has been working with rural women of Alwar district in Rajasthan since 2007 in the Humana Microfinance project. The women organize themselves and get loans. The groups then ensure that the money received is used for a viable project and that repayment of the loans starts immediately to promote the businesses viability from the start. Weekly meetings in the groups support the small enterprises and loan payments. Since its start, Humana Microfinance has spread to Jaipur district and in 2012, there were four branches offering loans primarily to women for business development. The main activities of Humana Microfinance are lending funds and training in financial literacy and production. Since 2007, the loans have increased from being accessed by a few hundred women to benefiting 7,914 women, amounting to a loan portfolio of slightly over one million dollars. 25% of the businesses are non-farm activities like shops, handicrafts, stitching and tailoring, 71% deal with animal husbandry, and 4% are developing agriculture. The repayment record is 99% and the Humana Microfinance lenders have increased their household income, opened bank accounts, increased household assets, improved nutritional status and decreased school dropout among borrowers children. Women have gained decision-making power based on their economic contributions to the family economy. Awareness on the importance of health insurance has also inspired 1,500 women to enroll in health insurance for their families. 26 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

28 A Greener Globe Securing a greener globe for the future can be combined with economic development and fighting shoulder to shoulder with The Poor. This is what is done through the secondhand clothes projects that members of Humana People to People have been engaged in since the early 1980s. Secondhand clothes collection promotes reusing and recycling of clothing. The process of clothes recycling was initially designed to be a business model, contributing with in-kind donations and funding for development work. The process begins with people in Europe and the US who are interested in how people around the world progress, are aware that their used clothes have a value and are environmentally conscious. They therefore donate the clothes they no longer want. Instead of becoming waste, the clothing is sorted and sold or distributed in various parts of the world, where it can be reused. Economic development is created with many workplaces on all continents and making clothes available on the market, contributing to the local business environment. The funds from the clothes that are sold are used to support Humana People to People projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The environment is protected as the re-use of clothes saves resources for the production of new clothes, minimizes the emission of greenhouse gases, and spares millions of tons of clothes from going into landfills. Tens of thousands of clothes collection bins are located in shopping centers, parking lots and residential areas in Europe and North America in collaboration with municipalities and private entities, giving people the opportunity to donate their used clothes to a Humana People to People organization. In addition to the positive effects of the secondhand clothes, many of the Humana People to People projects contribute to a greener globe through their agriculture programs, water and sanitation programs and actions to protect the environment. 28 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

30 The journey of the secondhand clothes Sorting of clothes Collection in clothes containers Collection bins for clothes are placed in public places, shopping centers and at private businesses for people to donate clothes and shoes. The bins are emptied systematically and the clothes are brought to loading or sorting centers. The clothes are brought from the collection bins to sorting centers where they are either baled as original clothes or sorted into categories for sale in secondhand retail shops in Europe, for wholesale sales in Europe and Asia or for donation to members of Humana People to People member organizations in Africa. The environmental benefits from the reuse of clothing In 2012, approximately 121,000 tons of clothing were collected by Humana People to People members. Every piece of clothing collected translates directly into significant environmental benefits. Global warming is associated with increasing amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Solid waste such as textiles release greenhouse gases as they decompose. The production of textile fibers and the manufacture of cloth burn considerable quantities of fuel and releases CO2 into the atmosphere. Approximately 4.3 kilograms of CO2 release are saved for every one kilogram of clothing that is spared from disposal. This means that Humana People to People members saved five million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere in 2012 alone. Planting trees remains one of the cheapest and most effective means of drawing excess CO2 from the atmosphere. Trees vary greatly in their absorption of CO2 depending on the type of tree, the amount of light, life expectancy, geographical location and many other factors. When using an average absorption of 20 kilograms per tree per year, the re-use of clothes in the Humana People to People Movement corresponds to planting 250 million trees. By reusing clothing rather than disposing of them, the need for growing more cotton and producing other fibers for new clothes is reduced and less insecticides are released into the environment. The production of fabric also consumes a large quantity of fresh water. The 121,000 tons of clothing collected helped save 726 billion liters of clean water. The re-used clothes also spared the release of 36.3 million kilograms of fertilizers and 1.5 million liters of pesticides into nature. 30 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

31 Re-use in Africa Re-use in Europe A large portion of the used clothes are sold in secondhand shops run by Humana People to People members. The shops offer a wide range of sizes and styles. The surplus is used for development projects. The clothes that are not sold in Europe are sent primarily to Africa, where they are often resorted for women, men, children or household items. They are packed in bales and sold in wholesale to traders or in retail shops run by various Humana People to People members. Recycling in Europe Cotton textiles that are not suited for re-use are sent to producers of rags and wipers. This, in part, replaces virgin cotton. Other textiles not suitable for re-use, are sold primarily to India where they are shredded mechanically. The materials are then used for spinning new thread for the production of new clothes and blankets. Economic development is created through the reuse of clothing 22,000 tons of recycled clothes were sent to Humana People to People members in Africa in Here, the clothes were again sorted to optimize the value of each piece and to give people the opportunity to buy quality clothes at low prices through marketplace sales in rural areas and in modern retail shops in major towns. The clothing collection and sales create jobs and sustainable workplaces while the revenue from the sales goes towards Humana People to People development projects. The lifecycle of the clothes is prolonged and through this process, the clothing work contributes to a greener globe and to economic development. ready product that is later sorted and packed in Angola, Belize, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea- Bissau, Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia, Humana People to People secondhand clothes collection and sales create jobs for the people handling the clothes and selling them. Jobs are also created for the people who earn their living and sustain their families by trading with clothes that are purchased from Humana People to People shops in a local market. In 2012, 83 modern and well-stocked retail shops in Belize, Congo, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia sold clothes directly to customers and 15 new shops were opened. The clothes are primarily imported - unsorted - in large bales of kilograms. By importing a semi- Humana People to People Annual Report

32 The clothes situation in Mozambique 42 million tons of clothes are produced in the world every year. This corresponds to 15 pieces per person. The need is set at 20 pieces, which means that even with an equitable distribution, the world is not producing enough for all. According to figures for the production of new clothes as well as the import and export of new and second hand clothes, there is in average of one kilogram of second hand clothes and new clothes at a value of US$0.8 available to each person in Mozambique. This is around five pieces of clothes per person per year. The UN has set the need for clothes at two kilograms per person per year. The people of Mozambique are therefore considerably underserved with clothes. DAPP Secondhand Clothes and Shoes program in Malawi The Secondhand Clothes and Shoes Program in Malawi is a sound business with the social responsibility to use the surplus from its clothing trade for DAPP Malawi development projects. The program operates nationally in Malawi with two sorting centers, 15 wholesale shops that provide clothes (in bales) and shoes (in bags), and 19 retail shops that provide people with a good option for clothes shopping. In addition to the clothing, DAPP also offers secondhand books for sale in one of its shops. In 2012, the Secondhand Clothes and Shoes Program created employment for 400 people. In addition, more than 4,000 customers are doing business in 107 rural, peri-urban and urban market sites by selling the clothes that they buy in bales from DAPP. 17 Customer Clubs also enjoy the benefits of collaboration, clothes shows, trainings and friendly competitions. In addition, DAPP provided mobile sales in rural areas where weekly market days are used to conduct business locally. In these areas, the clothes offer a much needed and wanted commodity to people. 32 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

34 The Federation for Associations connected to the International HUMANA PEOPLE to PEOPLE Movement The Federation for Associations connected to the International Humana People to People Movement (the Federation) is a membership network for organizations working with long-term, sustainable development. The members are independent national associations, often with names connected to the original idea of peopleto-people relationships that influence development all over the globe, such as Development Aid from People to People, Humana People to People and Planet Aid. They started their work and continue operating based on keen knowledge of the needs and development potential of the communities where the projects are situated. With projects and project leaders placed in rural areas, they are part of the everyday life of the people in the project and are also part of finding sustainable solutions. The projects and members of the Federation are important development partners to local, national and international players, including government institutions, non-government entities and the business community. Member organizations in Europe and North America collect and recycle secondhand clothes and shoes and use the surplus to support development projects. These projects build human capacity and encourage people to join forces to make changes that improve their lives and their communities. Develop programs with a common idea and standard by which they benefit from better quality and more efficiency. Draw on assistance in many professional fields and thereby reduce their costs. Cooperate to maximize results of clothes collection and sales. Benefit from and contribute to human resource management and development that fits to the challenges in developing countries. Speak with a common voice in international development fora, thus increasing the influence of their programs. The Federation creates services for and works with its members to: achieve their objectives and aspirations to create development together with people; operate development projects; carry out relief work; and spread information on development issues and program results. The international headquarters in Zimbabwe plays an important role as a meeting place for the people in the Federation and in the cooperation between the members. Members in Africa, Asia and Latin America fight shoulder to shoulder with people to improve health, education, production and economic prosperity. By establishing the Federation, providing a formal and permanent cooperation between the member organizations with permanent staff and an international headquarters, the members created a body where they can (among other benefits): Discuss issues of common interest on many levels. Access comprehensive experience of other organizations working in the same field. 34 Humana People to People Annual Report2012

35 Partnership in development 2012 in brief for the Humana People to People members Humana People to People members are proudly working together with many partners. Partners make commitments via funding, in-kind contributions and other types of support. Through these commitments, the members of Humana People to People implement development projects and many essential activities within the projects. Humana People to People members and the people in the projects have broad ambitions and aspirations for progress. Like-minded partners join in the process and provide their input to generate the wished-for improvements in rural areas and developing countries, where positive changes frequently come at a too-slow pace. Together, we have made it possible for: a small-scale farmer in Malawi to increase her own food security; an HIV-positive pregnant women in Zambia to access drugs and give birth to an HIV-negative child; a new school in Angola to be established that allows many children to learn from teachers who have a passion and a commitment for rural primary schooling; a household in Ecuador to provide early education to its children; a working child in the slums of India to gain confidence and knowledge to re-enter the educational system; women in urban Kinshasa in Democratic Republic of the Congo to establish gardens and supply the local market with vegetables and to become economically empowered; and many other inspiring and powerful stories. With funding in place for the programs to operate, people in the projects make change and development happen. Together, we achieve an impact on how the challenges that people face can be overcome. We thank all of our partners for their contributions, cooperation and enthusiasm in making a better world possible. The development organizations in the Federation have pursued their objectives within building human capacity, promoting health and fighting disease, creating development through agriculture, and by fighting shoulder to shoulder with The Poor in 16 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. They have raised funds through fund-raising projects in 27 countries in Europe and the US while working for a greener globe.

38 Brief introduction to the history and the establishment of the Federation and to its members The first Humana People to People organization was founded in Denmark in The first aid was given to Zimbabwean refugees in camps in Mozambique and the first development projects were established in Zimbabwe in Since then, the Humana People to People Movement has grown to 32 national associations working in 43 countries worldwide. Humana People to People works with long-term sustainable development programs in Europe, North America, Africa, Asia and Latin America. The Humana People to People organizations started to cooperate formally in In 1996, they decided to establish the Federation for Associations connected to the International Humana People to People Movement (the Federation) and construct an international headquarters located in Zimbabwe. With the Federation, the relations between the different organizations in the Movement were formalized as those of equal partners, with a common set of values and ideas, expressed in the Humana People to People Charter in The members of the Federation are: 1.
