Humanitarian Education

Sustainable Learning for Resilience adopts a comprehensive approach, emphasizing the fusion of knowledge and aspiration. This program is dedicated to enhancing resilience by empowering individuals with essential knowledge and skills. It revolves around two key pillars: effective response preparedness and vulnerability reduction, while nurturing a culture of compassion.

The Centre for Humanitarian Education (CHE) strives to deepen understanding of the multifaceted humanitarian challenges stemming from demographic shifts, socio-economic dynamics, and climate change. Through a diverse range of programs and courses, we equip communities with the tools and insights necessary to address these pressing issues, fostering resilience both locally and internationally.

CHE offers an array of programs designed to fortify community resilience through knowledge and skills-based training. These courses enable individuals and societal groups to provide aid and support to vulnerable segments of the community, fostering a spirit of humanitarian service. Additionally, we provide tailored training to organizations, corporations, public agencies, and community groups, furthering our mission of building resilience across various sectors of society.
