About HAA
Human Appeal Associates (HAA) is a non-profit, non-political, and non-religious national aid organization, registered with the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC) under registration number 2363 since 2015. Guided by humanitarian principles, our mandate is to assist victims of natural disasters, armed conflicts, and social exclusion, helping vulnerable communities restore dignity, resilience, and self-sufficiency.
Our Vision
We envision a society free from poverty and hunger, where communities are prepared to respond to crises with resilience, where structural barriers to growth are removed, and where every individual—man, woman, and child—has equal rights and access to resources and opportunities.
Our Mission
Our mission is to ensure the survival of disaster-affected populations and to strengthen the health, resilience, and livelihoods of communities in the regions where we work. Programmes are developed in partnership with local communities, ensuring cultural sensitivity, gender inclusivity, and responsiveness to climate change challenges.
