Disaster Relief Appeal – Flooding in Tanzania

Humanity First USA is aiding HF Tanzania to mobilize relief like food, water, and blankets. HFI Director of Operations Fazal Ahmad stated, "I just saw people wading waist deep in the city center. Even in Dar Es Salaam, flooding is really bad. In the farming areas, it has wiped out entire farms and homes. It is El Niño and locals have never seen it this bad."

With your support, HF is always ready to respond to crises and disasters wherever help is needed.

Giving the Gift of Sight

Imagine having a cataract that has steadily made your vision worse and worse for 30 years before you could afford to see a doctor. Imagine perceiving only light, when just one surgery could help you see your kids and grandkids.

We are extremely grateful to 14 international volunteers and the staff at Nasir Hospital in Guatemala for giving a second chance at sight to over 90 people this month. The mission screened patients for eye health, prescribed glasses or other treatments, and performed 66 eye surgeries to improve vision.

HFUSA, HF Healthcare Services, Loyola Medicine, and Cook County Health partnered to bring surgeons, residents, technicians, and medical students to Guatemala. Medical supplies were generously donated by the Surgical Eye Expeditions (SEE) and Alcon Cares Foundation.

A full report with stories of renewed sight to come soon!

Volunteer Food Security teams in Virginia connect with their cities

Thank you to everyone who turned hunger pangs into hunger relief by fasting and donating to our Fast2Feed campaign. Teams from Zion, Dallas, Southern Virginia, Houston, Atlanta, and Connecticut made a notable effort to raise awareness and funds for Food Security.

HFUSA has addressed food security since our founding 20 years ago. From Guyana to Louisiana to Peru in 2005 and 2006, food supplies and distribution were an important part of HFUSA disaster relief. Regular food distribution to address persistent hunger in communities in the United States began shortly thereafter and continues today.

Thank you to the City of Manassas, VA for proclaiming April 8th as Beat Hunger Day .
Thank you to Dumfries, VA for recognizing HFUSA’s efforts to eradicate hunger.
