It is one more of the processes within the management of the Foundation aimed at financing and developing development projects. 

What percentage of the resources generated is destined to the social purpose?

All the resources obtained annually are dedicated to development cooperation programmes in the countries of the South and social aid in Spain.

Does Humana receive external funds?

Yes, part of the cooperation programmes are carried out thanks to funds from entities such as the European Commission or AECID.

Do you ship second-hand clothes to Africa?

Yes, the second-hand clothing sector is key to job creation and economic growth in Africa. This is according to the study ‘Job Creation in Africa’s Second-hand Clothing Sector: evidence from Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia’ commissioned by Humana People to People. The report reveals that the second-hand clothing trade is a vital driver of employment, especially in countries where non-mechanised agriculture dominates the labour market.

Another report finds that second-hand clothing contributes billions of euros to GDP in Europe and Africa, where it contributes to the creation of thousands of green jobs. This is ‘The socio-economic impact of second-hand clothes in Africa and the EU27+’, produced by Oxford Economics on behalf of Humana People to People and Sympany+.
