Humanitarian relief
Develop small, clearly defined relief projects for food, winter needs and urgent household support where credible need has been identified.
Mission & objectives
Dignity, practical support and accountable humanitarian action.
HSKRC Humanitarian Foundation is being developed as an Australia-based humanitarian initiative. Its initial humanitarian focus is Afghanistan, with a proposed model built around need, transparency, safeguarding and responsible stewardship.
Our mission
Support people facing hardship without losing sight of dignity.
Our proposed mission is to support vulnerable individuals and communities through practical, carefully scoped humanitarian assistance that responds to clearly identified needs.
We aim to combine direct assistance with transparent project design, documented expenditure, appropriate safeguards and public reporting so that humanitarian support can be understood and reviewed.
Core commitment: assistance should be needs-based, respectful, non-discriminatory and delivered in ways that protect the privacy, safety and dignity of people receiving support.
Proposed objectives
Six objectives for the foundation’s first stage.
Education support
Support access to learning through school supplies, learning materials and practical education assistance suited to local circumstances.
Essential needs
Provide targeted assistance for essential household needs using transparent eligibility criteria and documented delivery processes.
Community resilience
Prioritise approaches that help households and communities respond to hardship while avoiding unnecessary dependency.
Accountability
Design each project with a defined purpose, budget, approval process, evidence requirements and a public summary of delivery and expenditure.
Responsible partnerships
Work only with partners or local contacts that can be appropriately verified and that accept the foundation’s safeguarding and reporting expectations.
Operating principles
How decisions should be made.
Dignity first
People receiving assistance are not marketing material. Images, stories and personal information should be used only when appropriate and with meaningful consent.
Needs-based support
Assistance should be based on documented need and transparent criteria rather than personal influence, affiliation or favouritism.
Do no harm
Projects should consider foreseeable safety, privacy, safeguarding and security risks before delivery begins.
Financial separation
Humanitarian funds should be kept separate from unrelated HSKRC research activities and supported by clear records and approvals.
Evidence and reporting
Project claims should be supported by appropriate records such as budgets, receipts, delivery documentation and completion summaries.
Continuous review
Projects and policies should be reviewed as the initiative develops, with stronger controls introduced as scale and risk increase.
Current scope
Pre-launch means pre-launch.
