Humanity International USA: Humanitarian Aid Deployment Program (HADP)
​
At Humanity International USA, we believe that real change starts with individuals who are dedicated, compassionate, and ready to make a lasting impact. Our Humanitarian Aid Deployment Program (HADP) offers a unique opportunity for those looking to step into the world of humanitarian aid, travel the globe, and make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
​
How It Works: Throughout the year, our Agents travel overseas to gain an in-depth, on-the-ground understanding of what it takes to deliver aid amidst humanitarian crises. You’ll learn transferable skills such as fundraising, communication, and how to be both a team-player and a great leader. You’ll develop grit, resolve, resilience, and compassion, while gaining an insight into how NGOs work. One thing’s for sure, an H.I Deployment can change your life forever.
​
​
Eligibility Criteria:
We are seeking individuals who are passionate about humanitarian work and have a strong desire to make a positive impact. To be eligible for the Humanitarian Aid Deployment Program (HADP), you must:
-
Be at least 18 years old.
-
Have a strong commitment to humanitarian work and a willingness to travel to crisis regions.
-
Possess a compassionate and resilient mindset.
-
Be able to work well under pressure and in challenging environments.
-
Have previous volunteer or field experience in a relevant area (preferred but not mandatory).
​
​​
The deployment journey has 3 important steps:
​
After signing up and deciding upon the country you want to visit, the first step of your journey will be fundraising. Each country has its own fundraising target. Remember, you have as much time as you need to raise funds. Plus, what’s so unique about a H.I Deployment is that we don’t ask for a registration fee.
​
Briefing
Whether conflict or climate-related, humanitarian crises zones face the same challenges: a deteriorating infrastructure and lack of access to food, safe water, healthcare, sanitation facilities and shelter. Before you travel, you will receive a full briefing on the humanitarian situation. We’ll cover information such as what to pack, itinerary and flight information, and provide mandatory safeguarding training to protect our beneficiaries. We’ll also answer any questions you may have.
​
Deployment
This once-in-a-lifetime experience allows you to spend time with the people we support and see, first-hand, the real, tangible difference that humanitarian aid delivery can make, and understand the challenges faced by those living in harsh conditions.
