ABOUTUS

​

Circus for Humanity is the touring arm of Humanitarian Clowns, created to bring laughter, entertainment and playful interactions to children and communities around the world living in hardship.

At the heart of our work is a simple belief: every child has the right to play, a right recognised by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

​

Each year Circus for Humanity runs multiple international tours where volunteers come together to share circus and performing arts in places where joy and performance are rarely seen.

These tours are about more than entertainment — they help foster connection, resilience and a sense of community wherever we go.

​

We work alongside NGOs in many countries that focus on community development and education, ensuring our tours are delivered in a safe, respectful and meaningful way.

​

Alongside our annual tours, we also collaborate with performing arts troupes and circus schools to design custom international trips. These journeys allow students and artists to share their craft in new contexts while deepening cultural understanding and connection.

 

At the same time, we mentor our volunteers to step into leadership roles as trip coordinators, building a growing network of compassionate performers who carry this work forward into the future.
