DO SOMETHING 
GOOD, SOMEWHERE 
FOR SOMEONE ELSE

We did it! Together, this World Humanitarian Day, we shared more than one billion messages of hope. See the results.
And from tomorrow we can continue doing something good, somewhere, for someone else. Just place your pin on the map below, find someone to help, or choose an organization to support.
Where ever you are, whatever you do, say 'I Was Here'.

As a celebration of all the humanitarian work across the globe, a unique event featuring Beyoncé was held at the UN General Assembly in New York on August 10th to inspire people to leave their mark on the world.
