The mission of the Holistic Family Development Center is to renew Congolese families and empower them to flourish economically, socially, and spiritually.
The HFD provides vocational training for vulnerable youth and women in their pursuit of meaningful employment and economic empowerment. Through this program, individuals receive hands-on training and mentoring in a range of practical skills, including literacy and numeracy, tailoring, and culinary art. By focusing on vocational training, HFD is able to help individuals break the cycle of poverty and achieve financial independence. Moreover, HFD’s programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of the community, ensuring that beneficiaries are equipped with the skills that are in demand in the local job market.
We also provide counseling for women affected by trauma and hardships that have left deep emotional, psychological, and spiritual scars. Our work is to bring healing and comfort to these women, along with a renewed sense of their identity as women created in the image of God.
