The Humanize Institute (H.I.) is an institution of the third sector which seeks to collaborate with territorial transformation and to strengthen individual and institutional capacities, aiming at the promotion of a more sustainable development and a more harmonic coexistence between people and natural resources.
To do such, Humanize works in collaboration with an ecosystem which integrates philanthropy, private investment, impact businesses and public sector, in order to leverage resources and skills. In addition to direct support initiatives, today the Institute has ten active partnerships among alliances, strategic partnerships and co-financing.
We believe that we can be part of a virtuous cycle of experiences to collaborate with the regeneration of individuals and territories in Brazil.
Humanize supports projects of national reach but works specially to integrate actions in the Amazon (in the states of Pará and Amazonas), in the Caatinga (in the state of Piauí), in the Cerrado (states of Goiás, Minas Gerais and Bahia) and in the Atlantic Forest (in the south of Bahia and in the cities of Paraty and Rio de Janeiro).
In order to promote a positive impact in territories and in the life of peoples living in situation of socio-environmental vulnerability, Humanize supports projects which foment the socio-biodiversity chains, especially to make them more structured and competitive, focusing on local strength and potentialities.
The Institution’s work starts from the programs of Sustainable Use, Entrepreneurship and Socio-Environmental Impact Businesses (NISA), Public Management and Development of Civil Society Organizations (DCSOs). Education and other themes (named under ‘Special Projects’) are transversal and complement the work.
