MHAF is a start-up humanitarian foundation. We aim to deliver food for the starving, shelter for the homeless, and medicine for the sick and injured in the most acute crises.

MHAF delivers humanitarian aid in the most challenging environments by working hand-in-hand with local partners. These trusted relationships on the ground, combined with coordination with international organizations, have enabled MHAF to provide over 10 million meals in Gaza and deliver food supplies to communities in central Sudan. By relying on local knowledge and established local networks, MHAF reduces costs and enhances the safety and effectiveness of its operations.

Today, too many are suffering despite the efforts of traditional organizations and charities. MHAF believes the solution lies not in doubling down on established practices but in applying an innovative approach and harnessing new technical and management skills. Progress needs change.

Our Mission

Our mission is to deliver humanitarian relief to crisis-affected populations in the world’s most challenging environments. MHAF serves as a bridge between crisis-affected populations, humanitarian partners and impact focused donors, by facilitating the delivery of food and essential humanitarian supplies to those who need it most.

Our approach

Rapid Response & Delivery

We establish an operational presence quickly, coordinate essential services, and respond to urgent needs while working within national systems and legal frameworks.

Building Trusted Relationships

Our legitimacy comes from respecting nationally defined systems and priorities and from delivering on what we commit to.

Transition and Ownership

Local actors are involved from the start, shaping design, guiding delivery, and preparing for handover. We focus on building systems and capacity that last beyond our involvement.
