Community Meeting: HEED provides small business and vocational trainings for community members to improve livelihoods.

High School students have formed a saving circle to prepare for their futures.

Communities are the best agents of their own change, and HEED aims to help the community transform from within through participatory development programs that teach self-reliance, economic cooperation, and proactive improvement for the common good of the community.

A saving and microfinance organization is now working in partnership with HEED within the community teaching the principles of saving, borrowing and business planning. This adds onto leadership, entrepreneurial business, and permaculture farming training introduced by other ministries who have partnered with HEED to uplift the community and bring sustainable change.
