HHFI's mission and philosophy is to build capacity through technology and skills transfer. By teaching agricultural methods and small space gardening techniques to subsistence farmers, community groups, and vulnerable households, we help assure their livelihoods -- not just for a day, or a harvest, but for a lifetime.
Participants in our workshops acquire knowledge and expertise in order to become self-supporting and live their lives with dignity and hope.

HHFI focuses on the long term benefits that accrue from education.

We teach agricultural skills, income-generating methods of farming and farm management.

HHFI offers both classroom (theory) and practical training. Our training is hands-on and our workshops include demonstrations of our four programs.

HHFI training modules include:

• Soil fertility management

• Traditional vegetables (African Leafy Vegetables)

• Companion planting

• Growing sweet potatoes

• Conservation agriculture

• Sustainable agricultural systems (e.g. hydroponics, agroforestry)

• Medicinal trees and plants

• Farm management and business skills

• Participatory technology development (PTD)
