HART - Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust

HART - Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust Bringing hope in forgotten conflicts We go where others won’t. HART is proud to stand alongside local people who are caught in the crossfire of conflict.

HART partners with local communities in Nigeria, Syria, Sudan, South Sudan, Burma (Myanmar) and the disputed regions of Abyei and Nagorno Karabakh. HART supports people who are trapped behind closed borders, oppressed by their own government, ignored by the international media or beyond reach of major aid organisations. We champion their solutions for sustainable change. We celebrate their vision for a brighter future.

Today marks three years since the ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh. Around 120,000 people were driven into exile, after months of blockade and a brutal military offensive. Sam Mason, HART’s CEO, reflects on the sombre anniversary.

*The above photo was taken by Sam on 12 September 2023: humanitarian supplies blocked by Azerbaijan from entering Nagorno-Karabakh, days before the forced displacement of 120,000.

Around 70% of school-age children are out of school in South Sudan.

Following recent classroom renovations, young people can now learn in a secure environment at Nyieth Primary School, without disruption from heavy rainfall. Amid ongoing conflict, displacement, and devastating floods, this is a story of community resilience and shared hope for a brighter future for South Sudan.

In South Sudan, young people are going to great lengths to learn.

We’re proud to announce the rebuilding of a primary school, which suffered damage from harsh weather and left students without an adequate learning space. In a safe and secure environment, children can now fulfil their potential without interruption. In the words of one young student, ‘from the shade of the trees to a safe haven’, this school has become a place of hope.

Over 100,000 Armenians were forced to flee their homeland, Nagorno Karabakh, to neighbouring Armenia in 2023. The staff and patients of the Lady Cox Rehabilitation Centre were among them.

Despite their displacement, the team of rehabilitation specialists and support staff have continued to provide a high level of holistic care for their patients. From psychological support to hydrotherapy, the Centre's patients are treated as individuals with potential.

With your support, we're helping to reestablish the Lady Cox Rehabilitation Centre's in Armenia. Give now to help forgotten communities rebuild and move forward: hartuk.enthuse.com/donate

Around 70% of those displaced by the recent deadly explosion in northern Myanmar were women and children. They face heightened protection risks, including exposure to gender-based violence, exploitation, and lack of access to health and protection services.

Alongside our local partners, we stand ready to help. Through cross-border aid and grassroots-led responses, we’re reaching vulnerable people in overlooked places. We’re also prioritising survivors of the explosion and female headed-households.

A deadly explosion displaced more than 1,000 people in Myanmar in May.

In an already volatile region, affected civilians are in need of shelter and medical care. Caught between the military and non-state armed groups, women and children also face heightened protection risks.

We’re working in partnership with local partners to coordinate relief efforts. You can be a part of the humanitarian response too.

Some people see the world through a different lens, and Halima is one such person.

As Halima’s internship comes to an end, she shares her reflections on the “geography of empathy”, the importance of people-centred advocacy, and the responsibility we all hold to seek out untold stories. A warm thank you to Halima from everyone at HART for sharing your way of seeing with us.
