Small Acts. Big Happy.
We’re Give Basic Needs—mobilizing people and partners to protect health, expand clean water access, and meet essential needs where communities are most at risk.
Why Was Give Basic Needs Created?
Many communities around the world continue to live without access to basic necessities such as food, shelter, and essential medical services. Give Basic Needs was created to reduce the suffering people endure while recognising the importance of happiness, dignity, and wellbeing in everyday life.
This understanding led to the formation of an organisation focused on delivering essential resources directly to people in need through acts of giving that prioritise compassion and human connection.
Our Mission
We work in partnership with private operating foundations, including the Colussi Family Foundation, to deliver critical charitable services—such as health support, shelter, and food—to economically disadvantaged individuals and families. Our acts of giving are designed to reduce suffering, cultivate community happiness, and inspire others to extend kindness within their own communities.
Our Vision
Give Basic Needs aims to reduce suffering and maximise happiness for people everywhere by ensuring access to essential resources that uphold dignity and improve quality of life.
