Future in our hands
education and development fund

Future in Our Hands Education and Development Fund is working to alleviate poverty in the world's poorest communities

Sustainability
The FIOH Fund supports approaches that aim to alleviate poverty in a sustainable way by focussing on projects which:

- are initiated by poor people through local non-government organisations

- incorporate a strong element of education and training

- enhance the status and involvement of women in the development process

- create ecological awareness

An enabling and motivating approach
Our approach is based on a belief that development policies imposed on a community, without proper consultation and the active involvement of the people, can frequently compound their problems and create a climate of dependency.
The FIOH Fund has helped to empower people in peace, conflict and natural disaster situations to establish activities which are both economically and environmentally sustainable in the long term.
The Fund has supported a wide variety of projects which reflect our philosophy in urban slums, leprosy colonies and poor rural areas.
