A Legacy of Service
Since 1991
Since 1991, Human Assistance & Development International (HADI) has been serving humanity by advancing education, digital media, charitable initiatives, and technology-driven knowledge platforms.
The Beginning
What began in 1991 as a small group of visionary young professionals has grown into a global nonprofit dedicated to uplifting people without boundaries of race, creed, or color.
Founded in Los Angeles by alumni of UCLA, UC Berkeley, and Southern Illinois University, HADI was created by young immigrants, average age 27, who felt compelled to contribute back to society with their education, skills, and time.
