The Human Act Ecosystem

Human Act is an independent NGO founded in 2016 by Djaffar Shalchi and Ané Maró, who donated around USD 35 million, including property assets, to create a world free from extreme poverty.

By turning their business into a foundation, they gave Human Act a strong financial base, funded entirely by property profits without relying on external donations.

In 2021, they launched Human Act Development, a venture fund investing in startups to further support the foundation’s mission.

Today, Human Act remains fully self-financed, with ambitions to form strategic partnerships, advocate for a wealth tax, and help finance the SDGs.
