What we do?
• Advancing the rights of women and girls: Our initiatives help teenage girls stay in school, prevent HIV and early pregnancy, and reduce gender-based violence and exploitation by increasing women’s access to economic opportunities and health services. We also work with families and communities to keep adolescent girls in school.
• Helping to end hunger: Our food security programs aim to eliminate hunger and malnutrition by teaching climate-smart and nutritionally tailored agriculture techniques, boosting livelihoods, promoting health, nutrition, and hygiene, and supporting integrated school feeding programs.
• Enhancing health: To promote sexual and reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, maternity, newborn, and child health and nutrition, we strengthen health systems, service delivery methods, and linkages within and between communities and health institutions.
• Overcoming hardship in vulnerable communities: H4BF works with community organizations, local schools, and the commercial sector to build long-term disaster risk management strategies.
• Create perspective for vulnerable young people and women through Skill trainings, leadership trainings, capacity-building programs and starting up social enterprises
