Despite its lynchpin status in the unstable Horn of Africa region, Kenya is facing an economic and social crisis fueledby high inflation, unemployment, corruption, social and political instability, and unsustainable national debt, which consumes over 65% of annual revenue. Since beginning our support, the instability has worsened with street protests against the newly elected government of President William Ruto. Planet Humana's projects include:

The Roots Institute. This school delivers education based on the national curriculum to approximately 300 of the most marginalised children in Nairobi’s oldest informal (slum) settlement. These children are mostly those of undocumented immigrants from east and central Africa whose status generally excludes their children from the formal education system.

Masai Mara Maternity Hospital equipment, PHF located, negotiated, and transported from the USA approximately $500,000 worth of redundant but functional medical equipment for a newly-constructed the first maternity hospital servicing a district of 400,000 Masai people on the fringes of the Masai Mara.

A sand dam in the Kamatukeo district. This dam provides 1,000-3,000 people with water in a dry zone in Kenya’s centre. This dam project not only provides year-round household and agricultural water to a highly vulnerable agricultural population, but it has the additional effect of freeing-up time for women to attend to the healthcare and education of their children; of creating additional sources of income; of reducing exposure to sexual violence in the course of water fetching; and of improving the soil quality, agricultural practices, and natural environment of the community.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has severely impacted the country's economy, social, and political stability both regionally and – increasingly – globally. The war has devastated infrastructure, causing a sharp GDP decline, high inflation, and increased poverty, while exports – especially of wheat and – have been disrupted, exacerbating global inflation and food shortages. Millions have been uprooted, while hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians have been maimed and killed. PHF’s evolving support to Ukraine includes:

Hell’s Kitchen (Pekelna Kuhnja), a humanitarian kitchen based in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv which has served over two million meals to humanitarian workers, volunteers, combat medics, medical and other humanitarian staff, homes for the blind, homes for the elderly, and the poor trapped inside the city and region by poverty and fighting.

UAnimals, an animal rescue and mobile veterinary clinic. With PHFs grant, UAnimals focused on delivering veterinary services to rural communities which have been trapped with their farm and domestic animals by the fighting in eastern Ukraine (for which reason people often fail to evacuate).

Forest Glades, an NGO attached to a HealthMinistry clinic, for civilians and soldiers who have been tortured in captivity, and for troops who have suffered the effects of shell shock, either in the form of profound depression or mild traumtaic brain injuries (mTBIs).

See With Your Heart, a long-established grassroots organisation caring for children and young adults with profound autism.

The Institute for Global Health and Health Policy, through which we have funded medical shipments to Ukraine, as well as a variety of smaller humanitarian outcomes such as the volunteer organsations "Wild Volunteers" and "The Jack and Masha team" (small and highly mobile teams responding to immediate humanitarian needs along Ukraine's frontlines) and "Aid-46" and "Forca" (humanitarian response and combat medic training teams).

Belying its sunny reputation, Argentina has some of the worst relative poverty statistics in the world, with more than half of the population falling below the national poverty line. Yearly inflation is currently around 290%, exacerbating the cost of living and making it increasingly difficult for families to afford basic goods. Argentina’s Social Debt Observatory suggests that poverty is heading towards 60%, marking the highest levels recorded in nearly two decades. UNICEF projects that child poverty rates could approach 70%. Planet Humana is funding:

Asociación Civil Madre Tierra, intended for the project "Sewage treatment of the Manantiales neighbourhood", a minor infrastructure project in an impoverished rural community.

AsociaciónCivil La Ponderosa Integración por la educación, for the project"El Sauce" Community Integration Centre, in an impoverished urban neighbourhood.

As one of Australia’s nearest neighbours, East Timor, or Timor-Leste, faces a challenging economic and social crisis rooted in high dependency on oil revenues, limited economic diversification, and a high poverty rate. Despite investments in public infrastructure and social programs, poverty remains pervasive, with nearly 42% of the population below the poverty line, and food insecurity affecting almost 40% of households. Planet Humana is funding:

A seminal STD programme. This project reflects Australia’s Pacific regional focus on rolling-out HPV programmes across neighbouring Pacific Island nations.
