Strategy100: Empowering people in crisis and beyond 

Since its inception, Company 4 Humanity has been committed to empowering communities affected by conflict, crisis, and poverty. Inspired by the belief in human dignity and equality, our global team works tirelessly to help those in need not only survive but thrive restoring hope, opportunity, and self-reliance. Today, we operate in regions around the world, delivering crucial support and sustainable solutions.

Our efforts are focused on five key areas: ensuring food security, promoting health and well-being, expanding access to education, enhancing economic opportunities, and amplifying community voices in decision making processes. We prioritize the unique challenges faced by women and girls who often bear the greatest burdens of crisis working to break down barriers and create lasting change. At Company 4 Humanity, we believe that nourishing communities is the first step toward building a more just and equitable world.

Changing needs in a changing world

In the nearly 90 years since our founding, the world has undergone profound transformations, and so have the needs of the communities we serve. Today, an alarming 100 million people are displaced due to conflict, persecution, and crisis. Displacement durations are longer than ever, with most lasting over a decade, as protracted conflicts such as the ongoing situation in Afghanistan average 20 years. The escalating climate crisis is projected to displace up to 150 million people by 2050, intensifying these challenges further. Additionally, the global COVID-19 pandemic has compounded vulnerabilities and deepened humanitarian needs worldwide. At Company 4 Humanity, we remain steadfast in our commitment to support those impacted by these shifting crises.

A strategic vision for 100 years of action

At Company 4 Humanity, our Strategy100 aims to set a global standard for humanitarian response. We are committed to delivering high quality, cost  effective programs both independently and in partnership with local communities. By combining rigorous research on proven approaches with valuable insights from those we serve, we strive to transform how the world supports people in need. Our ultimate goal is to make empowerment and lasting change the foundation of all humanitarian efforts.
