Humanculture

Humanculture is a global Indiginous led non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving the life, land, and culture of African and Indigenous peoples in remote societies. We support communities that are often excluded from global visibility and resource access. Our work focuses on increasing sustainable access to water, food security, education, health services, economic autonomy, cultural preservation and representation. Our work is decolonial and community-led. We partner with local leadership to expand access to fundamental human rights for women, children, and whole-village development. We have projects across Africa and the Global South in Central America, South America, North Africa, East Africa, South Africa, and Southeast Asia. HUMANCULTURE’S PROJECTS CONTRIBUTE TO AT LEAST 12 OF THE UNITED NATIONS’ 17 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS, INCLUDING: No Poverty Zero Hunger Good Health and Well-Being Quality Education Gender Equality Clean Water and Sanitation Affordable and Clean Energy Decent Work and Economic Growth Reduced Inequalities Responsible Consumption and Production Climate Action Life on Land Humanculture originated as Maasai Water Project through its work with remote pastoral Maasai communities in Tanzania to address water scarcity, education access and women's health and economic freedom. In 2024, Humanculture produced The Untold Story Exhibition, an art exhibition held at One World Trade Center in New York City from March 8 to April 8, 2024. Curated by Stephanie Zabriskie, the exhibition was a unique opportunity to view and interact with culturally significant art, while supporting humanitarian work dedicated to preserving the life and culture of African and Indigenous peoples, particularly the Maasai society featured in the exhibition. Humanculture was founded in 2018 by Stephanie Zabriskie, the organization supports populations that have historically been excluded from global visibility and resource access.
