 "I fear for my Indian TG friends who are still young and who still have some ideals left......"   Ellen, ex-volunteer


Humana opened in India in 1997, the year that Humana in Europe first came under massive pressure    -   closed down in England, labelled a cult in France, and pursued by the Danish government.     Humana India runs a number of projects, but there are the usual reports that these are poorly organised, cult-like and most likely a means of making money under cover of development.  There is a college, DRH Sikkim.    Reports please.   

Tvind assets:   Humana India (1997),  projects, Rajasthan, Bihar,  HOPE, clothes collection and sales, fund raising, new college in Sikkim

Latest news:

Tata Steel company sponsorship of Humana India ends suddenly.

Sept 2003:  Tata Steel company went into partnership in 2001 with Humana India to run a community scheme, 'Project Uday'   (See the Tata Steel web site)   According to a Tvind Alert correspondent, the partnership lasted less than a year.

The correspondent adds:  "Humana India is just being  used to transfer money from us and Europe in the name of development. There are some name sake projects running but they are almost in their dying phase except  for one. Yes but each year transactions of thousands of dollars are shown in running these projects.

"I would like you all to investigate on the India projects and stop Humana from using India's poverty for their own selfish means."

Humana India fundraisers are active in California

Sept 2003:    A Tvind Alert correspondent writes:    

I write on behalf of the Davis Food Co-op in Davis CA to let you know that 2 fundraisers from CCTG are active in Davis. They plan to stay until mid-October.
 
They are Elmer Vaerge and Hinoshu Joshi from the Alvar project in India. The story they tell seemed interesting, and a little internet research led me to your site.
 
I am disapointed to learn that they may be misleading good people into donating $ to a false charity.
 
Thanks

Ellen's story

Ellen, a 54 year old teacher from Canada, volunteered to work with HPPI (Humana People-to-People India) in 2000, attracted by the idea of six months training and working with the poor.   She quickly became disillusioned, first with the non-education at IICD Michigan, and then with the amateurism, disregard for volunteers, sniping, intrigue and bullying among project leaders in Rajasthan.

This is an excoriating expose of Tvind in India.   Read her story here.

"Line thought that India is just like Africa.  She had never been to India.  In fact, no one on the staff had ever been to India.  They had all been to either Africa or Central America.  They thought that all third world, developing countries are the same.  There are so many people from India living in the U.S., you'd think they could bring in some really interesting people to give seminars, workshops, and language instruction.  No, they don't believe in doing anything for the students.......it is such a relief to not be attached to Humana anymore!  Not to have to say, I'm doing some work for Humana People to People..... as a service to the public, help to expose the corruption and pretense of  IICD and Humana."
