We've been keeping a secret.

For the past several months, we've been working on something very special — and we're finally ready to share it.


A Partnership Months in the Making


The Human Needs Project is collaborating with Adam Leipzig — Hollywood producer, former President of National Geographic Films, and producer of A Plastic Ocean, March of the Penguins, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids — on a new documentary project.

Together, we're creating a documentary exploring innovative models — including Human Needs Project's own work at the HNP Kibera Centre — that are changing the way we think about poverty and urban development.

Why a Film Can Change More Than Minds


Adam's A Plastic Ocean became a powerful advocacy tool that helped inspire changes to more than 150 laws around the world. We believe our story — and other innovative solutions to poverty — can have a similar impact, inspiring action to help break the cycle of poverty.

See It on October 15


Here's where it gets really exciting. On October 15, at our Annual Benefit in San Francisco, we'll share an exclusive first look at the vision behind the project — before anyone else sees it.
