 About Humana People-to-People  

The original volunteering and used clothes charity set up in Europe by the Teachers Group in 1977 as Tvind expanded from an alternative school to a global business. Humana People-to-People is now just one of the many names the Teachers Group uses for ots global enterprises.

For years Humana People-to-People was based in Denmark. In the late 1990s its world headquarters was moved to Zimbabwe, where its grand headquarters building was opened by Amdi Petersen's friend the Zimbabwean dictator, Robert Mugabe.

Humana has placed tens of thousands of roadside used-clothes bins in almost every European country, and also has its own shops. We believe most of the clothes collected by Humana in Europe are sold on to Tvind commercial companies such as Garson & Shaw, U'SAgain, Holland House and ConMore BV, ending up in second hand markets in Russia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

The profits supposedly support Humana People-to-People volunteer aid projects abroad, but the financial links are far from clear. Investigations into other TG used clothes enterprises have sugested very little money is spent on charity.

In January 1998, after an investigation, the British Charity Commission closed down Humana UK alleging serious financial misconduct. Official papers on this affair have never been made public. Humana effectively reopened as Planet Aid and Green World Recycling in the UK in the same year. Humana France was closed in the mid-1990s after the French government classified it as a cult and profit-making concern, not a charity. Humana has never reopened in France. In Holland, Humana has been given a warning by charity regulators because of its failure to comply with financial standards. In Scandinavia Humana is known as UFF, and in North America as Planet Aid or Gaia.
