WE ARE CHANGEMAKERS
We provide long-term, sustainable solutions.

Teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.

HHFI's mission and philosophy is to build capacity through technology and skills transfer. By teaching agricultural methods and gardening techniques to groups of small farmers and vulnerable households, we help assure their livelihoods.
Participants in our workshops acquire knowledge and expertise in order to become self-supporting and live their lives with dignity and hope.
We are focused on the long term benefits that accrue from education.
We teach agricultural skills, income-generating methods of farming and farm management.
