Friends of Humanity was formed in response to the desperate need in northwest Haiti. Chartered as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, we are working in the region to transform despair into hope and desolation into dignity. Friends of Humanity is directly involved in this work and visits Haiti frequently to identify needs, provide personal oversight, and supply the priceless hugs no money can buy.

Volunteers are always needed in Miami to collect, sort, and package donations. Volunteers, especially those with skills in the building and medical professionals, are needed in Haiti.

To volunteer, contact Renel Noel at 305-484-8499 or 305-323-0937 mobile

If you or your organization is interested in supporting our efforts, please contact Kathleen Monahan using our contact us form.
