Mission Statement

Humanity Relief is a not-for-profit organization that assists individuals in need fight poverty with permanent solutions. Our goal is not only to provide assistance, but also to help individuals in need escape the clutches of poverty.

Our Story

When he was younger, Ali had been through a transitional housing program with his single mother. As he got older, he felt obligated to help others the way his family was helped. At the age of nineteen, much like many college students, Ali started to become more aware of the social issues around him.

He knew he couldn’t help everyone in need, but also knew that even one person could alleviate the suffering of many individual’s. After making a few phone calls from the suburbs of Chicago to see how he could get involved, he started volunteering at a charity that provided assistance to refugees in east Africa, the middle east and south Asia. He got his friends involved as a group and eventually his closest friend, Abdullah, obtained employment at the organization while Ali Khan interned at an associated organization which did resettlement domestically instead of international relief.

After volunteering and working for charities for several years, Ali and Abdullah, along with the support of a few others, felt confident in starting something of their own.

Humanity Relief is not just a not-for-profit organization that helps all people without discrimination, but it is also a place where you don’t have to be afraid to be yourself when helping others!
