For the 3-day annual AMC Convention (Jalsa Salana) – a national conference for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community that inspired the founding of Humanity First – come visit HFUSA during all exhibition hours in the main hall and the bazaar. The huge exhibition will take you back in time and inspire you for the future. (And don't forget to buy your commemorative swag :)

It will be a journey to remember!

A Wonderful Dinner in Detroit

The Humanity First 20th Anniversary Detroit Dinner was a wonderful testament to the dedication of our volunteers, our students, and the greater Michigan community. 

Mujeeb Ijaz, a member of the Humanity First USA Board of Directors, shared stories from his time spent in Türkiye following the devastating 2023 earthquake. He spoke about the HF Disaster Relief program and our global effort to provide medical care and food.

Board members of the Humanity First Student Organization (HFSO) of Northville High School introduced the audience to how HFSOs lead local service projects and support Humanity First’s broader mission. They were joined by students from the HFSOs of Troy High School, the University of Michigan, and the University of Toledo. Mr. Munum Naeem, the Chairman and Executive Director of HFUSA share milestones and goals for our 20th Anniversary.

We were thrilled and humbled to welcome an audience of 150 people to celebrate the power of humanitarian service. Guests drove from as far as Toledo and Flint to join us. Some esteemed guests included members of the Troy Faith Group, employees of IBM and Volkswagen, parents of HF students who have served on global missions, and volunteers like Dr. Ahmad Munir who served during the Flint water crisis in 2016.
