Humankind

Humankind is a registered social enterprise based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We are on a mission to improve the social and emotional well-being of all communities especially communities that are underserved and vulnerable.

Pam Guneratnam, a psychologist by training, and a registered Counselor with the Malaysian Counselling Board, founded HumanKind with the vision of a world where everyone recognizes themselves as valuable, needed and connected, and having the ability to make a positive difference.

The first project HumanKind embarked on was a full day Expressive Art workshop at a shelter for trafficked girls. A team of 8 individuals together with a trainer conducted an Art Retreat for the young women at the protection facility. Since that project, the Organization has conducted more than 20 projects with various at-risk community groups, training more than 100 volunteers and delivering at multiple projects in Malaysia each year.

In early 2020, HumanKind was invited to train a group of volunteers in Jaipur, India - its first overseas initiative and the very first Expressive Sandwork Project to be conducted in India.
