International Humanity Foundation

1. Executive Summary

The International Humanity Foundation seeks $5,000 to expand its Online Global Leadership Development (GLD) Program. This underfunded initiative equips young adults from underserved communities with leadership skills, global awareness, and practical tools for community engagement.

Funding will strengthen digital learning resources, enhance facilitator training, and increase access for participants across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. With this investment, IHF will expand program reach, deepen participant engagement, and empower youth to lead meaningful change within their communities.

2. Organization Background and Mission

Founded in 2001, the International Humanity Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to educating marginalized children and developing globally conscious leaders. IHF operates five Children’s Homes and educational centers in Indonesia, Kenya, and Thailand, supported by a global volunteer network.

The pilot Online GLD Program has trained more than 400 youth from over 20 countries, demonstrating strong engagement and measurable community action after completion.

Mission
To support children from marginalized communities through education and nurturing resources that foster community and spread compassion across humanity, while equipping young individuals with leadership skills and exposure to global realities that inspire meaningful action.

Vision
To cultivate ethical, globally aware leaders who advance human dignity through cross cultural understanding and impactful decision making.

IHF employs 20 full time staff and collaborates with volunteers and partners worldwide to deliver programs with measurable impact.

3. Problem Statement

Many young adults in underserved communities lack access to structured leadership training, mentorship, and practical skill development. Financial constraints, limited infrastructure, and geographic barriers restrict participation in high quality programs.

Without accessible leadership development, communities face limited local capacity to address social challenges effectively.

The Online GLD Program bridges this gap by providing accessible, cross cultural leadership education. As enrollment grows, the program requires enhanced digital tools, expanded facilitator capacity, and participant support to ensure equitable access for youth facing connectivity and financial barriers.
