Compassion, dignity, and our shared humanity — above all else.
Humanity Above All is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit delivering urgent, independent humanitarian relief — without political affiliation, without delay, and without waiting for perfect conditions.
Our origin
In 2024, our founder Hamza AbdulQader — a critical care nurse with six years of ICU and rapid-response experience — served in Gaza. What he witnessed there changed his life, and Humanity Above All was born from that experience: a commitment to put our collective humanity above politics, borders, and delay.
Since then, the organization has operated independently to deliver life-saving relief: coordinating clean-water deliveries across the Gaza Strip, installing and maintaining a desalination pump that still delivers clean drinking water every single day, and distributing food to camps and communities in urgent need.
Our mission
To provide essential aid, education, healthcare support, mental health support, and collaborative humanitarian action — helping create a just and equitable world where every person can thrive.
Our vision
A world where every human life is valued, and all people have access to quality education, essential resources, dignity, purpose, safety, and the opportunity to thrive.
How we work
We are an all-volunteer team of healthcare professionals working directly with trusted partners. We keep costs to an absolute minimum so the greatest possible share of every donation directly supports people in urgent need — and we tell you honestly what we can and cannot verify.
An international mission
Humanity Above All was founded to serve wherever crisis strikes — without borders. Gaza is our emergency focus today; as funding and volunteer capacity grow, we are preparing to expand our programs to crisis-affected communities internationally.
