Guided by purpose.
Driven by compassion.
Every decision we make, every program we offer, and every life we touch is guided by a single unwavering commitment — to restore dignity and hope to those who need it most.
"To empower individuals and families experiencing hardship by providing relief, guidance, and sanctuary spaces — restoring dignity, stability, and hope."
"A world where every person — regardless of circumstance — has access to compassionate support, meaningful guidance, and a safe place to heal and grow."
Born from lived experience
Hummingbird Sanctuaries was founded by Joul L., who spent over 6 years working closely with individuals and families facing profound hardship — financial crisis, emotional distress, domestic difficulty, and spiritual searching.
What began as personal, one-to-one support evolved into a vision for something larger: a structured, global organization capable of extending that same compassionate care to thousands of people worldwide.
The hummingbird — small, resilient, always in motion — became our symbol. Like the bird itself, we believe that even the most delicate strength can sustain extraordinary journeys.
"I decided to dedicate my life's work, knowledge, and experience to building a foundation that can extend this support far beyond what one individual can do alone."
— Joul L., Founder & CEOEvery person deserves a moment
to breathe again.

The principles that guide
everything we do
Compassion
We meet every person with empathy, patience, and deep respect — exactly where they are, without judgment.
Dignity
Every individual deserves to be treated with honour. We protect the privacy and integrity of all those we serve.
Integrity
We operate with full transparency, financial accountability, and unwavering honesty in all that we do.
Resilience
Like the hummingbird, we believe in the extraordinary strength that lives within even the most difficult circumstances.
Community
We build networks of care — connecting individuals to each other, to professionals, and to a wider world of support.
Sustainability
We focus on long-term transformation, not short-term fixes — building lasting foundations for stable, hopeful lives.
Every number represents
a real person.
Transparency is not optional —
it is our obligation.
