H4YU basically has six (6) thematic interventional areas with an overarching arm of providing quality education and health improvement.

1. Children/Youth Education.
2. Youth Programs, including Sports, Music and Performances.
3. Health and Nutrition:
4. "You Matter" girls only Program that brings teen school girls and community young women/mothers together to share their dreams and challenges.
5. Water and Sanitation Services:
6. Self-Sustenance Projects including a poultry, a piggery, goats and growing of food crops.

H4YU continues to enjoy significant growth since inception, working in partnership with local community members/leaders and district authorities.

Come, volunteer with us for a life changing experience.
