What We Do

Humane Care Foundation works with local citizens of more than 12 townships exposed to severe chemical, toxic pollution on a daily basis downwind of the Schottegat area. More then twelve thousand adults and five thousand children makeup the exposed population.

We look at the big picture of human rights violations in relation to environmental pollution, and we go beyond the symptoms to confront the underlying cause: the ISLA-refinery and local government policies.

With a broad range of activities based on empowerment, human rights and sustainability, Humane Care Foundation seeks to tap human potential and leverage the power of individuals and townships to unleash a vast force for progress.

Our Mission

Our mission is to serve individuals and families who have been or are being exposed to norm exceeding concentrations of chemical, toxic pollution.

Drawing strength from our international alliance, experience and sponsors, we promote a stop to the ongoing atrocities, violation of human rights and the rights of the child, and environmental degradation. We advocate for human rights justice and corporate responsibility.

Guided by the aspirations of local townships, we pursue our mission with both excellence and compassion because the people whom we serve deserve nothing less.

Our Board of Directors

Humane Care's board of directors is the daily organization's governing body, consisting of Humane Care's president, treasurer and secretary.

All board members must have a basic understanding and initiating action in support of Humane Care's mission, goals and projects. This includes assisting in expanding Humane Care's outreach and increasing its visibility and donor support. All board members are volunteers and serve without compensation.

The board is responsible for the successful execution of projects, and to that end recruits and appoints voluntary aid workers on project basis or enters into partnerships with other organizations.

The financial responsibilities of the board and the foundation are being monitored, controlled and audited by an independent registered accountant.
