ATTENTION CHANGEMAKERS:

TRANSFORM YOUR PASSION INTO IMPACTFUL ACTION

With Humanitarian Changemakers Network founder, Tiyana J. 

"I founded the Humanitarian Changemakers Network in 2020 because I saw a need for changemakers working across difference issue areas, organisations, and sectors to be empowered as individual agents of change to fill their changemaking toolkits, so they can creatively respond to challenges and co-create innovative solutions...

After working as a social impact strategist, I wanted to ensure that the frameworks and tools I used and developed for international organisations and large companies were accessible to those working at the grassroots level, who typically don't have access to the resources and support networks of larger organisations.

In July 2024, I launched the Humantarian Changemakers Network's School of Social Impact, so that changemakers working at the grassroots level can access the knowledge and tools to transform their passion into impactful action."
