We believe that work is the foundation that improves and empowers people, their families, and their communities for a better future. And access to resources cements equity for success.

We begin our work by first understanding the challenge faced by the marginalized community. We identify barriers to change, design an adaptive program customized for the community being served, implement the program, monitor progress, and evaluate success. As FHG staff are active members of the Congolese community, we can easily navigate the community with minimal cultural resistance. Most importantly, our programs are well supported within the community, and they work!

FHG programs promote acquisition of transferable skills and entrepreneurship. For example, we provide support to those who are interested in creating profitable micro-businesses by providing skills training and internships to ensure success in self-employment or well-paid employment. We design our programs with compassion, integrity, and dignity for the people we serve.

Our long-term goal is to grow our programs to provide access to essential human needs such as clean water, food, and housing to allow people to channel their energy into achieving security.
