all levels/classes of humanity


Explanation:
...for her commitment in bringing more light into the world -- to all levels of humanity.

"classes of humanity" may sound a bit harsh; "levels of humanity" could be misconstrued to indicate behavior -- but perhaps you'll find one of these suggestions helpful.

all classes of the world companions


Explanation:
I'll rather prefer "world companions" instead of "population", "community" or whatever, because it sounds more literary. And, think; every person accompanies to some other for a time and than dies.
