We believe in cultivating a spirit of selfless giving and contributing to the development of youth, no matter where they are. Humanitarian Affairs Asia is a member of the United Nations Global Compact, the World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations, World Alliance for Citizens Participation and the International Association for Volunteer Effort. Humanitarian Affairs Asia initiates and supports humanitarian relief efforts and development programmes in countries that are poverty-stricken and disaster-prone. Humanitarian Affairs seeks to identify next generation leaders, and then encourage and nurture them to become world-class citizens with a global mindset and an in-depth understanding of the plight of the Global Poor. We provide young people with opportunities to engage in humanitarian service, strengthen their awareness of diverse cultures, and develop a lifelong commitment to helping others by participating in relief efforts to benefit impoverished communities in poverty-stricken countries. Our programmes are not meant to evoke momentary feelings of sympathy and compassion. Rather each activity is designed to be a lesson in teamwork and personal development; each experience serves as a mirror for self-reflection, about life's greater purposes and responsibilities.
