Economic Development

HDF’s Economic Development Program has given men and women equal business opportunities and allows them to provide for themselves and their families

Thanks to you, HDF encourages entrepreneurship and provides training for men and women in vocational skills and business management. This program provides the poorest in these villages with an ability to earn a living that will help provide food and shelter for their families. With new career opportunities, many now have the chance to build their own businesses and teach these skills to other members of their community.

The poverty rate in HDF villages has fallen to 37%.
