Humanitarian Aid Relief Fund, Inc (d/b/a/ HART-US) was inspired by the vision and work of Baroness Caroline Cox, the first female deputy speaker of the House of Lords in London and CEO of Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust. She is currently serving as a cross-bench member of the House of Lords. In 2005, she won the most prestigious Mother Teresa Memorial International Award on Human Rights and Social Justice. She has trekked through the world's most dangerous conflict zones including the Armenian enclave Nagorno Karabakh, Sudan, Nigeria, Uganda, Burma and Indonesia to give "voice to the voiceless" in areas where other International Aid organizations will not go. She has assisted North Korea with Parliamentary programs and medical initiatives and worked with a team of UN leaders in the effort to change the former Soviet Union policies for orphaned and abandoned children from institutional to foster family care.
