Programs
General Relief and Development Program
$42mUnder the umbrella of Child-Focused Community Transformation, emergency relief and rehabilitation, clean-water and sanitation projects, health education and intervention, agriculture development, income generation, life-skills training, and education programs are conducted around the world in developing countries and specifically in the hard places among the poorest of the poor. Over 3 million have been helped this past year through these programs.
Child Sponsorship Program
$34mThrough a community development model, monthly sponsorship equips families to address the nutrition, clothing, health, and spiritual needs of a child. Because the programs are family and community based, gifts help the entire family and community. Currently there are over 125,000 sponsored children in 17 countries around the world. These countries are Bolivia, Peru, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Burundi, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Philippines, and India.
Gifts in Kind Program
$20mNon-monetary donations, called "gifts-in-kind", including but not limited to, food, seeds, clothing, medical supplies, and pharmaceuticals are sought and integrated in FH relief, rehabilitation, and development programs. These donations are matched with the needs of field locations as well as other agencies. Through all our donated pharmaceuticals, water filtration units, hope packs, medical supplies and other smaller gifts in kind, we have been privileged to serve millions of the poorest of the poor around the world. Countries to which we have shipped these donations are Bolivia, Peru, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Burundi, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Philippines, and India.
