The humanitarian platform of IHE

Connecting what someone needs with whoever can give it

In an emergency the help usually exists; what fails is finding it. Someone has an empty warehouse, and a few streets away nobody knows where to store the donations. Humanade brings those two ends together: you post what is needed or what you can offer, and people reach each other directly.

When the IHE team reached the camps in La Guaira, the need did not arrive as a tidy list. It arrived in pieces: a family with no water, a health post out of antihistamines, three older people with no way to get to dialysis. And close by, at the same time, there was an empty warehouse and people with a truck and time to spare.

Posting takes under a minute and needs no account.

Humanade exists so those two halves can find each other without anyone having to broker it. It runs today in La Guaira and Vargas, the same areas the mission worked in, with real posts from neighbours, schools and health posts.

How it works, in three steps

Post

Describe what you need or what you can give, and where. No account, and no forms beyond the essentials.

Connect

Whoever can help reaches you directly by phone, WhatsApp or email. Nobody waits on a middleman to reply.

Resolve

Once it is sorted, the listing is marked as handled, so effort goes where it is still needed.

What gets posted

Listings are sorted by the kind of help, and there are open requests and offers across all of these.

Health and dental

Medicine, wound care supplies, treatment and clinics for people with nowhere else to turn.

Food and water

Drinking water, food and infant formula, from a single family to a whole neighbourhood.

Shelter and logistics

Places to sleep or to store things, transport, and people who can move what needs moving.

Education and volunteers

Supplies and classes for children who lost their school, and people offering their time and trade.

Humanade is a separate site with its own open listings. If you need something, or can give something, that is where it starts.
