Empower Rural Girl Children with Education
Summary
This project empowers the rural, underprivileged girl students studying at HFF schools in Andhra State, by funding their education, transportation. Girl students benefited by this project can focus on their studies without a worry about their fees, food and safe transportation to the school.
Challenge
There is a notion among the communities that we serve in that girl children are not fit to get educated and pursue their dreams, but should stay home, help the household. Even among the girls who do join school dropout rates on attaining puberty is especially common. Because of this thinking, there is a significant skew in the gender ratio of the children who pass out of school.
Solution
HFF empowers girl children education by providing education support, transportation subsidies to deserving girl children in the communities we serve in. We try to correct the admission ratio skew by providing more of these benefits to the girl children, thus achieving a 47% of admission as girls overall. We also have no girls dropping out on reaching puberty. Quality education, safe transportation motivate parents to admit & continue education of their girls.
Long-Term Impact
Confident, educated and healthy girl children will be able to pursue higher education and job opportunities in the fields of their choice. They will be pillars of support for their home, parents and the community. Gender skewing in the community will recede over time. Importantly, it also ensures that the next generation gets far better parenting and therefore a better life.
Gift an education...Make a life!
Summary
HFF's English-medium schools provide high quality school education to rural children in state who cannot otherwise access or afford it. The schools adopt a nurturing, holistic approach to education, helping children learn joyfully. 61% of the children get full scholarships while rest pay a subsidized fee. Your donation goes towards critical infrastructure like learning material (including STEM), classrooms, school bus, etc. for HFF rural schools & Govt. Schools Support Program.
Challenge
Despite considerable economic progress in India in the last couple of decades, poverty has continued to pervade rural areas. Children in rural areas have been denied access to proper education with schools lacking basic facilities, teachers being unmotivated and frequently absent. Even those who eventually make it through twelve years of schooling graduate lacking even basic skills, making it impossible to seek gainful employment or pursue higher education.
Solution
Education is the only ladder for these rural children to climb out of poverty. HFF creates a bright future for rural children in its rural schools providing quality infrastructure, computers, joyful learning aids, English language program & holistic development through sports, yoga. The schools actively promote girls education. The schools teach health & hygiene. HFF also provides support for govt. schools which impacting children.

This education is the key to lifting them and their families out of the vicious cycle of poverty. Teacher augmentation, English & remedial teaching in Govt. schools lead to improved quality of education producing more confident & educated children.

Support Poor Farmers (Pride of our state/country)
Summary
HFF to help 5,00 farmers in rural areas in state by teaching them better agricultural practices and developing the resource base to achieve higher gains and provide greater food security.
Challenge
Over 70% of the population in the remote areas is dependent on agriculture as a source of livelihood. Given that the region receives less than 600mm of water a year, agricultural produce is insufficient for consumption and for sale. This forces the farmers to migrate to far-off cities to work in sub-standard conditions. Further, high levels of soil erosion and insufficient infrastructure restrict agricultural productivity.
Solution
Training, exposure and demonstrations will give farmers a better understanding of the practices they can adopt to increase productivity and be food secure. The new practices will help eliminate migration and ensure efficient management of resources.
Long-Term Impact
The farmers will be able to meet the needs of their family and gain access to a long-term livelihood solution. They can secure their food needs and will not have to leave their families behind in search of work.

Food and Medicine for poor villages in State/Country
Summary
This project provides emergency food and medicine for poor villages. Living in makeshift shelters beside an open sewer, they survive by collecting, sorting and selling waste from the streets. They are illiterate, malnourished and despised. Access to emergency aid enables the young to stay healthy and in work and provides essential care for the elderly. The funds are applied for and disbursed by the community itself through their Association.
Challenge
Poor Villagers are exposed to disease through their occupation as well as their living conditions. Medicines are expensive and when someone falls sick, the family can end up hungry and in debt. Every small setback is a disaster for a vulnerable family. Children drop out of school and go for works because they are hungry. This community desperately needs help to overcome crises so that families can stay well and keep their children in school.
Solution
This project provides the funds for the local community organization to provide emergency medical and food aid for families in crisis. If a parent falls sick or dies; if there is flood; if an elderly person can no longer support herself; or in any other emergency the community can apply for funds to get the family through the crisis and back on its feet again.

By enabling the community to help its own members through crises, this project promotes community cohesion, keeps the able bodied in work and the children in education. The community will rely on its own leaders rather than depend directly on an NGO. Ultimately, the community itself will provide the funds leading to a long-term sustainable programme.
Planting trees to save the planet!
Summary
12,000 years ago, humans started to farm. Since then, nearly half the world's forests have disappeared, and today we are facing, simultaneously, a global pandemic. In addition, a devastating climate crisis. One of the quickest, most efficient, most cost effective ways to tackle climate change is by planting trees. (IPCC, August 2019) Reforesting 900 million hectares will capture 25% of the carbon in the atmosphere, help stabilize the climate, provide clean air and protect our water resources. Let's do it!
Challenge
Tropical rainforests are ground zero for the problem and the solution. Wholesale deforestation has led to degraded soils, loss of biodiversity, and severe stress on water resources. The "lungs of the world" are at the tipping point, and wildly erratic weather patterns affect everyone everywhere. Determined to restore the forest, our local community has planted thousands of trees to protect springs on eighty farms, but we cannot keep up with the demand. Funds are short and time is running out.
Solution
No trees, no water. No water, no life. Floods, wildfires, global pandemics, none of us is exempt, and we are all in this together. Therefore, we need to do two things. Understand that together we can change our reality. Then take action. Start with your network, spread the word, and encourage people everywhere to plant trees and save the planet. Lead by example. Plant a tree and share on social media. If you cannot, we will plant one for you. Our health and the health of our planet depend on it.
Long-Term Impact
In a time of crisis, let us remember that the planet is closed for repairs. However, it is not too late to turn it around and we can rise above all this. If we get those trees into the ground, do you have any idea what will happen? We will increase the fertility of our soils, provide habitat for wildlife, store all that carbon, help stabilize the climate, and ensure that we have clean air to breathe and pure water to drink. Nothing can be more important. Plant trees for water. Water for life. Are you in?
