Creating Pathways to Success
HDF’s scholars come from diverse African countries, including Tanzania, Burundi, Congo, Madagascar, Somalia, and Rwanda. They gather in Kenya to pursue higher education, fostering personal growth and contributing to the development of their home countries. This effort aligns with the concept of sadaqah jariyah, the everlasting charity that continues to benefit even after one’s lifetime.
HDF collaborates with renowned educational institutions such as Al Jazari Institute, Miftaah Institute, Islamic University of Minnesota, University of the Middle East, and the Islamic University of Kenya. These partnerships ensure the delivery of quality education and the unlocking of boundless opportunities for scholars, effectively bridging the education gap.
Scholarships for Aspiring Students

For just a little over $2 per day, supporters can profoundly impact the lives of individual children, families, and entire communities through the gift of education. HDF’s support encompasses tuition, school supplies, uniforms, transportation, technological tools, and a stipend for families.
Pursuing Diverse Fields
HDF supports individuals from diverse backgrounds as they pursue degrees in fields such as IT, Medicine, Engineering, and Accounting. By promoting inclusivity in higher education, HDF aims to create a diverse academic environment that nurtures social cohesion and enhances academic infrastructure for all.
