About Us

We are on a mission to help the helpless.

Humans for Humanity is an NGO headquartered in Dehradun, India. Established by Mr. Anurag Chauhan, it aims to create a better world to live in by distributing food, educating the poor, and in a nutshell, simply extending a helping hand to those who can’t reach out.

The results of these initiatives were astounding. In Delhi, children could no longer be seen begging in a 2-3 km radius. The rate of drug addicts and children who had turned to petty crimes also went down significantly.

HFH also works to promote art and culture because our heritage needs to be preserved. India’s rich and diverse culture is what makes it stand out, and we must take pride in it. So, HFH promotes all kinds of upcoming artists and gives them a place to express themselves. The organization has also taken a stand for the textile industry, which is rapidly falling apart since the advent of fast fashion, which is mostly built on slavery. This is why HFH started promoting indigenous Indian wear.
