The Unforgotten provides direct humanitarian and emergency relief to wastepickers and other vulnerable, often-overlooked populations worldwide with zero overhead.
Volunteer-Driven
The Unforgotten has been operational since 2007, and completes hunger relief, water, medical, and education projects around the world. Since its inception, The Unforgotten has been managed by a global board of volunteers, committed to operating without overhead costs. All donations are directed to where they are needed most –to provide humanitarian relief in the field.
The Forgotten
We target aid to those that have not received aid from other charities – the forgotten. The Unforgotten remains one of the only charities in the world providing aid to vulnerable women and children surviving as wastepickers in developing countries.
Humanitarian Emergencies
In the world’s most urgent humanitarian emergencies, we and our partners work in conjunction with the United Nations Association’s Council of Organizations.
