Livelihood and food security is an important pillar of our program for graduating people out of poverty. It helps to support livelihood and food security by making available right skills, piloting innovative practices and technologies, and easy capital to uplift farming and non-farming communities. HDF also pays special importance to women economic empowerment to enable them play greater role in their household and communities.
