World Humanitarian Day

On World Humanitarian Day (19 August) we honour those working tirelessly in fragile, complex settings to protect and save lives. We join the call for protection, accountability and action to support humanitarian workers carry out their work and for people affected by crises around the world.

The humanitarian system is underfunded, overstretched and under attack. The world needs to Act for Humanity for everyone’s sake.

In 2025, MENTOR’s committed teams are responding to humanitarian emergencies in Central African Republic, Gaza, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Sudan, Syria and Venezuela. Despite the many challenges, we will continue to support life-saving efforts in these countries for as long as needed.
