The Humana People to People Federation publishes its Progress Report 2024
09-04-2025
The Humana People to People Federation has published its Progress Report 2024, a document reflecting the work of this network of 29 non-profit associations committed to solidarity, cooperation and international development. In 2024, more than 1,800 development actions implemented in 46 countries by the Federation's members involved 15 million people.
The Progress Report 2024 highlights the diverse initiatives led by the people and organisations that make up the Humana People to People Federation and have a transformative impact on the lives of so many. ‘We celebrate the important development milestones we reach in 2024, which are essential to fostering peace, resilience and hope,’ say sources from the supra-entity.
Humana Fundación Pueblo para Pueblo is a member of the Federation. The added value that our organisation brings to the management of used textiles is the capacity to generate resources that are destined to social programmes in Spain as well as in Africa, Latin America and Asia. The cooperation programmes that Humana supports are carried out within the framework of the Humana People to People Federation.
All 29 members are independent. Located in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America, they share common values to protect the planet, build communities and help people join forces, boosting their capacity for change and positive action.
Our development cooperation programmes are carried out in the following areas:
- Education
- Agricultural and rural development
- Community development
- Renewable energy and energy efficiency
- Communicable diseases
- Relief and emergency
- Technical assistance and support
Some of the milestones reflected in Progress Report 2024 are:
- The funds generated from secondhand clothing projects contribute to poverty reduction by providing flexible funding for development programmes, driven by the revenues from people donating and purchasing secondhand clothes. In 2024, Humana People to People’s second-hand clothing operation provided US$28.3 million in development funding to support countries in the Global South in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1. In Mozambique, the second-hand clothes trade accounts for at least 65% of the money circulating in the markets, with food a close second at 25-30%.
- The Humana People to People network creates more than 8,000 formal jobs directly with its members and 116,200 informal jobs in logistics, sorting and sales throughout Africa and Central America. Both formal and informal employment sustain economic development.
- In 2024, Humana People to People members contributed to sustainability by repurposing 139,000 tonnes of used clothing in the USA and Europe.
- Humana People to People calculates that for each tonne of clothes we collect, we save 6.1 tonnes of carbon emissions. In 2024, Humana People to People’s second-hand clothes operation saved 849,000 tonnes of CO2.
