Our global presence

London, United Kingdom

Human Practice Foundation UK was established in 2019 to strengthen the international reach of our work. From our base in London, we engage a growing network of philanthropic partners, advisors, and foundations who share our belief that education can break cycles of poverty and unlock opportunity.

The UK team not only raises critical funds for selected programmes in Kenya and Nepal — they also play an active role in strategic oversight, ensuring transparency, impact, and long-term alignment with our values.

With deep cross-sector experience and a strong presence in the UK’s international development landscape, HPF UK helps bridge ambition with action — turning global support into local results.
