Since April 2023, violent conflict has displaced nearly 9 million people, leaving families struggling for basic necessities. We are currently working with our partners at the Sudanese American Physicians Association, a healthcare nonprofit focused on Sudan, and Flexport, a logistics company, to send 18,000 hygiene kits to Sudan. These essential supplies will help to promote sanitation and prevent the spread of disease.

Hope Delivered for Women and Girls in Gaza
Hygiene plays a critical role in maintaining health and dignity, particularly during times of crisis. That’s why we’ve focused on ensuring access to essential hygiene supplies, including 1.7 million menstrual pads, for women and girls in Gaza in collaboration with trusted partners at the United Nations Population Fund.
“These kits empower women and girls by providing them with the necessities to manage their hygiene and menstrual health with dignity and privacy.”
Hurricane Beryl tore through the Caribbean and into Texas, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. As the first major hurricane of 2024, Beryl unleashed fierce winds, storm surge and torrential rain that caused widespread flooding and power outages.
HHI responded swiftly. Our team deployed to Jamaica and coordinated relief efforts with partners and government officials. We’ve already sent 10,000 hygiene kits to communities in both Jamaica and Texas. As needs become clearer, additional aid shipments are ready to deploy.
