A world of hope, inclusion and opportunity
We seek a world where poverty has been overcome and all people live with dignity, safety and security.
Who we are
Humanitarian ambition, grounded in practical action.
World Humanitarian Support Foundation (WHSF) is a technology-driven humanitarian nonprofit working to expand hope, inclusion and opportunity for underserved communities. We use Artificial Intelligence, digital inclusion, STEM education, accessibility and responsible technology to support dignity, learning and sustainable development.
WHSF was established in the United States in June 2015 as a registered California nonprofit organization and was subsequently registered in Nigeria in 2021. World Humanitarian Support Foundation has been in special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) since 2026.
Our mission is to empower underserved communities through Artificial Intelligence, digital inclusion, STEM education, accessibility, climate-smart innovation and responsible technology. We center women, youth and children because lasting progress requires equal rights, equal access and meaningful opportunities for all people.
Technology is a catalyst for transformation when it is inclusive, ethical and useful. Through ICT programmes, AI education, robotics, cybersecurity, digital literacy, e-learning learning and mentorship, WHSF opens pathways into STEM careers, entrepreneurship, leadership and lifelong learning, especially for girls, women, young people and communities with limited access to opportunity.
