Humantic Foundation

Humantic Foundation is based out of Dumar in Sameli, which is a pretty quiet spot compared to the bigger cities. We don’t have a lot of traffic out here, which is nice, but it also means we are a bit far from everything. It is just a small group of us working out of a simple building. Most of our days are spent just chatting with the locals and seeing what’s going on in the village. We didn’t start this to become some huge company or anything like that. It was more about having a place where people could go when they had an issue. The office is pretty basic, just some plastic chairs and a lot of paperwork piled up on the corner of the desk. Sometimes the internet is slow, so we end up doing things the old-fashioned way with pens and notebooks. It’s not a very fast-paced life here in Sameli, but that suits us just fine. We know almost everyone who walks through the door by their first name. It feels more like a community center than a foundation office most of the time. We drink a lot of chai and talk about the crops or the weather before we even get to the actual work. That is just how things go around here, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We don't have a lot of resources, but we make do with what we have to help our neighbors.
