Who we serve
Children and teenagers in rural and underserved communities
To improve the lives of children and teenagers in rural and underserved communities by providing access to quality education, psychosocial support, mentorship, and essential resources to thrive.
We are faith-based, and that foundation shows in how we serve rather than in what we ask of the people we serve: with compassion, equity and accountability, alongside local leaders, schools and families.
What we do
Five programmes, one commitment
Our programmes are the strategic umbrellas under which every HECGI project, outreach and partnership is delivered.
