Our Story
UK Registered Charity
Since 1995
Over Three Decades of Grassroots Impact
FIOH was founded in 1995 with a simple but powerful belief: that the most effective change comes from the bottom up. By partnering with local organisations rather than imposing external solutions, we've helped channel well in excess of half a million pounds to generations of disadvantaged communities.
Our approach emphasises gender equality, ecological sustainability, and the dignity of every individual. Working across five countries and two continents — Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Malawi, India, and Pakistan — our network continues to grow through trust built over decades.
The FIOH Education and Development Fund is approved by the Charity Commission and supports seven partner organisations — each rooted in their communities and committed to lasting change.
