Global Back to School

Empowering Education Across the Globe

At HDF, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and succeed, no matter their circumstances. Our Global Back to School Campaign is dedicated to equipping children in vulnerable communities with the essential supplies they need to thrive in school. Your support can help us provide school bags filled with everything a student needs to start the school year strong.

Children around the world face immense challenges due to war and instability. Your support in providing school bags helps motivate students to attend school and lightens the financial burden on their families.
