OF UKRAINE
The HUM Foundation was established in 2023 by U.S. land developer and philanthropist Dell Loy Hansen after he visited Ukraine and witnessed the horror of the genocide war. He identified three fundamental needs: food, money, and shelter - these pillars guide the Foundation. This is our story.
MISSION:
To serve the Ukrainian Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who have lost everything to Russia’s invasion and genocide war. We have a goal to reignite hope and dignity by rebuilding communities. Our foundation aims to be a catalyst for the development of local infrastructures and economies.
