Humanity Connects Charity Initiative (HCCI) is a community-based organization founded to restore hope, dignity, and opportunity among refugees and vulnerable populations. We work at the grassroots level to empower individuals, especially youth and women, with the tools they need to become self-reliant and active contributors to their communities.
HCCI is more than an organization, it is a movement born from lived experience.
As a young refugee, I, Heri Tulia Luc, faced immense hardship, isolation, and lack of opportunity growing up in a refugee camp. But instead of giving up, I chose to rise, using every challenge as a lesson and every setback as motivation.
At just 19 years old, I began mobilizing fellow youth, teaching practical skills, and creating safe spaces to ensure others would not endure the same struggles alone. What started as a small effort to teach tailoring and basic skills has grown into a community initiative transforming lives.
"No one should suffer alone when solutions can be built together."
