About us
hOw stands for help Our world and is a humanitarian initiative to uplift the disadvantaged and help them rediscover the colours of life.

It is an effort to raise awareness and involve them in many activity areas, helping them to live in this world with increased self-esteem and confidence.

help Our world (hOw) was inspired by the lack of integration and collaboration that characterizes contemporary charitable work and philanthropic initiatives. We intend to work as a vehicle that brings as many humanitarian groups together and by joining efforts, make a real difference to more communities and more people who need our help and support.

We at help Our world (hOw) have vowed to help those in need by reaching out to them and by creating a network of charities and partnerships that have a positive effect on serving multiple humanitarian causes.

Mission
hOw takes a "community-based approach" to fulfill its mission. Starting with the concept of "for people, by people, with people," we endeavor to develop self-reliant, Eco-friendly communities and help them rediscover the colours and joys of life whilst strengthening their self-confidence.

We encourage recognition, appreciation and multi-cultural and multi-ethnic dialogue, promote education and on-the-job training and empower each individual by creating opportunities to become actively involved within the hOw community. In the vision area you can find our motives and more information about why we pursue this approach.

Vision
There are three main concepts which guide our work and shape our mission:
• Self-empowerment
• Self-reliance
• Environment awareness

We believe that more disadvantaged people in the world could benefit from the support and expertise of humanitarian groups if they decided to work together and if they agreed that promoting these three concepts is the way forward.

On this basis we plan to establish 12 communities around the world to constantly remind us that helping people and helping the environment are time-dependent.

Furthermore the communities we envisage will be open to the world, thus giving an opportunity for the exchange of culture and information as well as giving a chance to those who need our help to be eventually reintegrated into the society.

For this reason each community will have 12 interconnected and interdependent centers. Some of the centers will generate money (hOw Farm, hOw Atelier, hOw Market, hOw Gastro, hOw Travel and hOw Bank) some will enhance knowledge (hOw School, hOw News and hOw Events) and some will offer support when needed (hOw Office, hOw Health and hOw Unity).
