Bringing hope in forgotten conflicts

Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust (HART) is an international development charity. Since 2004, we've partnered with local communities to bring life-saving assistance and lasting change.

We go where others won’t

HART brings vital aid to people who are trapped behind closed borders, outside the scope of major aid organisations, or ignored by the international media.

Reaching the furthest first

We support people who face the most profound forms of disadvantage, in places that are hard-to-access and within marginalised communities.

Away from the headlines

We gather first-hand evidence of oppression and injustice, where people experience bloodshed and displacement but their suffering is unseen.

We amplify forgotten voices

In a noisy world, we amplify voices that are unheard. We share stories of grief and courage, and celebrate their vision for a brighter future.

HART provides food, water, shelter and medical care, as well as support for education, livelihoods and disability equality.

HART dared to reach us during the 20 years of war between the LRA rebels and Ugandan Government.

Our development programmes focus primarily on people in need who do not receive assistance from major aid organisations.

It seems the rest of the world has forgotten us. There are no laws to protect civilians, especially women and children… but we can rely on HART.

We provide life-saving assistance to victims of conflicts or disaster.

Even the UN could not reach these vulnerable people because of the flooding… Thank you for your efforts to save even one life.

Benjamin Barnaba, Blue Nile in Sudan

We empower communities to drive their own development, using local knowledge and expertise to ensure solutions are culturally relevant and sustainable.

You are always by our side, our main source of encouragement... even when we were driven from our homeland.

It is here – away from the headlines – where you help us to make a difference.
