Founder’s Note
WHY UMANO?
Having volunteered for over a decade within the leadership circle of some of the world’s largest charitable organizations, I have realized that unless we change the way we relate to others, charity alone cannot address the magnitude of the challenges the world faces today.
We have worked extensively to alleviate poverty and other related socio-economic issues collectively across various borders, and yet we continue to observe tremendous human suffering as well as new environmental and existential threats to our future.
At Umano, we seek to explore the concept of driving sustainable change through empathy. We believe it is only through empathy that we can truly learn to love others, become compassionate to animals and respectful to our planet.
Umano was born to inspire empathy and motivate change.
