HOW IT WORKS

How It Works

The majority of FH staff works locally in the countries we serve around the world. The country teams work closely with the people and leaders in the communities to understand their specific needs. Together they plan a wish list based on what they need most such as the tools, resources and knowledge for providing nutritious food, clean water and sanitation, resources to start businesses, better education for their children, spiritual development and more!

We share these gift ideas with you so you can choose how you will support families and communities as they overcome the challenges of extreme poverty. Your gift giving goes beyond helping families, by also supporting local communities. Most gifts you give are purchased within the local community before they are given to families so your giving goes on to have an even greater impact.
