The Best Gift is You
We envision a world where everyone recognizes themselves as valuable, needed and connected.
We believe that kind people exist in every community. Kindness makes the world a better place. We are on a mission to identify, resource, connect and support people who want to be of service.
We deliver evidence based, sustainable solutions that ordinary people of good will can use to make a difference in the area of mental health and emotional well-being. We especially use the arts as our approach because the arts are a powerful tool that crosses language, cultural and social economic barriers..
Mental Health Support
If you feel stuck in your life whether it is with a situation or in a relationship, counseling can help you.
HumanKind's mission is to provide affordable mental health services for the community. We do not charge for counseling services but there is a cost involved for the use of space, utilities, supervision, and administration cost related to running this service.

BuddyBear Helpline
The Buddy Bear project is a response to the urgent need to support children who are experiencing emotional distress due to the Movement Restriction Order imposed on all Malaysian as a result of the Corona Virus Pandemic.
NGOs are reporting an increase in abuse and violence in the homes and children calling for help. The Humankind team of 35 volunteers took 2 weeks to develop a phone service for all children to call for emotional support. We have since expanded to a volunteer team of 60 and continues to support kids daily from 6pm-12am.
The team utilizes Psychological First Aid in supporting children through this crisis. The Buddy Bear line is currently the only dedicated children’s phone service in Malaysia.
OUR PROJECTS
What our Partners say:
“You have no idea how successful the project has been, the kids have shown a tremendous improvement in attitudes during class and all this has been happening from day one itself. It's amazing...like magic.”
-Dennis Chan, HumanAid
“The attendance has been near perfect, and this is very rare! The children love coming and the parents are very happy with the changes they have seen in their children. We really value your program because we know it’s good for the children.”
— Nur Hassini, Yayasan Chow Kit
“I strongly felt that this activity is a form of painting which empowers victims to find a more courageous and meaningful participation in their lives through the expressive arts. What was so fabulous about the program was taking the inward journey in a safe environment.”
— Tharini Cecil., Suka Society
