International Charities

So Hum Foundation’s international charitable partners serve some of the most underserved members of society: the very poor, women and children, and adults and children with disabilities. Funding has been targeted towards health care and medical services (specifically surgeries to reverse blindness), children’s homes and schools, cultural and environmental preservation, and animal welfare.
