Our mission
To strengthen humanitarian action across Africa by connecting people, sharing practical knowledge and recognizing credible contributions to human wellbeing.
About AHHS
Where Africa’s humanitarian community connects
AHHS brings people and institutions together to share knowledge, build meaningful partnerships and recognize service that improves lives.
Why AHHS exists
Better connections. Greater impact.
Humanitarian work reaches across communities, professions and national borders. Yet the people doing that work do not always have opportunities to learn from one another or meet potential collaborators.
AHHS is designed to help make those connections possible. We bring grassroots experience into wider conversations and create space for established institutions and emerging leaders to exchange ideas.

A wider purpose across Africa.
AHHS is an initiative of the Humanitarian Achievement and Outreach Foundation, founded by Emmanuel Anabueze. The Foundation’s work spans humanitarian recognition, youth development, women’s empowerment, entrepreneurship and social impact.
