Society for human rights and supportive action Humanitas is a voluntary, non-governmental and non-profit organisation. Our mission is to raise awareness of global problems such as poverty, over-consumption, the gap between economically differently developed countries and, through education and awareness raising, to encourage social inclusion and responsibility. Our principal objectives are to offer assistance to less privileged groups at home and around the world, to represent and assert their interests, and to promote tolerance.
Our main activities are: child sponsorship, fair trade, responsible tourism and global education. Child sponsorship: supporting a child (in Africa or Slovenia) to complete his/her education, but some of the money also goes towards community projects. Fair trade: we work directly with producers in Africa, run fair trade awareness raising activities in Slovenia and are one of the founders of fair trade shop in Slovenia. Responsible tourism: we work with our partners in Burkina Faso and Slovenia, and do awareness raising activities. Global education (including intercultural dialogue): aims to empower people with a better understanding of global problems and provide knowledge, skills, values and attitudes we need as citizens of the world, to cope with global challenges. We do workshops in schools, organize teacher trainings and training of trainers, public events, seminars, conferences and develop pedagogical materials. We also run a library House of the Worlds with books on global education.
