Empower Lives through Skills Training

The Skills for Success Program empowers individuals to achieve financial stability and independence through training. By providing essential skills, we open doors to opportunities that can transform lives. Join us in breaking the cycle of poverty and helping families rise above their struggles with dignity and determination.

The Human Development Fund (HDF) supports training in five countries through our Skills Development Centers. These centers help artisans improve their products, enhance quality, and access markets. With talent assessment and skill advancement, we equip beneficiaries with the confidence and tools to succeed.

Serve Abroad with Horizons for Humanity!

Looking to make your impact felt beyond borders?
HDF’s Horizons for Humanity service trips are immersive, weeklong experiences where volunteers come face to face with the realities of poverty, displacement, and resilience in countries like Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, and Egypt.

Participants will engage in hands on humanitarian projects, from food and water distribution to supporting children with disabilities and helping orphans. These trips are designed not just to serve, but to educate, connect, and inspire lasting advocacy.

This form lets us know you’re interested in joining a future trip. Once received, we’ll follow up with more information, including upcoming opportunities and the next steps.

No prior experience is required, just a heart for service and a willingness to learn.

Note: Completing this form is the first step in our process. It does not confirm your participation in any upcoming trip.
