Humane Globe has started a mission in late 2020 in order to address one of the most important challenges that children suffering from cancer and living in economical hardship face: getting access to life-saving medications. According to medical experts, more than 85% of children with cancer fully recover if and only if they receive the required medications.
As we reach the conclusion of our third year of operations, we reflect with pride on the accomplishments made possible by our generous donors. The mission of Humane Globe has resonated with people who saw the problem and wanted to make a difference. Our campaign, disseminated across multiple social media platforms including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, garnered unexpected levels of attention and engagement. Our donors hail from over 10 countries spanning three continents, including Switzerland, Germany, France, the US, Canada, and the UK, among others.
