Our Programs

Our flagship program delivers comprehensive educational support directly to children in communities where economic hardship and regional instability have made school attendance an impossible luxury for many families. We provide full back-to-school kits, tuition and registration fee coverage, and learning materials that keep vulnerable students enrolled and attending.

Working directly with school administrators and community leaders, DEHFOPAD identifies the students and families most at risk of dropout, prioritizing orphans, children from single-parent households, and families affected by displacement. Every distribution is documented with signed beneficiary rosters, itemized logs, and photographic records.

• Full back-to-school kits (textbooks, notebooks, exercise books, pens, pencils, rulers, erasers, school bags)
• School uniforms and footwear
• Tuition and registration fee coverage for orphans and vulnerable children
• Supplementary learning materials for teachers and classrooms
• Direct coordination with school headmasters for beneficiary identification and distribution

• Primary and secondary school students in rural and semi-urban communities
• Orphans and other vulnerable children (OVCs)
• Children from single-parent, low-income, and displaced families
• Under-resourced schools in conflict-affected zones

Access to education is not just about tuition fees and textbooks. In many rural schools across the Southwest Region, students study in classrooms without desks, chairs, or functional blackboards. Teachers work without basic instructional materials. DEHFOPAD’s infrastructure program addresses these foundational gaps so that the learning environment itself supports student success.

We furnish classrooms, deliver essential instructional resources, and work with school administrators to identify the most critical infrastructure needs. Every project is scoped to the specific realities of the school and community – ensuring aid goes where it is needed most, not where it is easiest to deliver.

• Classroom furniture: desks, chairs, and benches for students and teachers
• Blackboards, whiteboards, and instructional display materials
• Basic library and reading corner resources for primary schools
• Teaching aids: wall charts, maps, science and math visual kits
• Facility assessments conducted jointly with school headmasters

• Under-resourced primary and secondary schools in rural and semi-urban communities
• Teachers operating without basic instructional equipment
• Students learning in deteriorated or unfurnished classroom environments

Sustainable peace is not imposed – it is built from the ground up. DEHFOPAD’s upcoming peacebuilding program focuses on equipping youth with the leadership skills, civic knowledge, and community-building tools they need to become active agents of stability and social cohesion in their own communities.

Designed for young people in conflict-affected and economically distressed regions, this program will deliver structured mentorship, mediation training, civic education forums, and youth-led community development projects. By investing in the next generation of local leaders, we aim to reduce vulnerability to social exclusion and disengagement – the root conditions that undermine lasting peace.

• Youth leadership and mentorship workshops
• Mediation and conflict-resolution training for young adults
• Civic education forums on governance, rights, and community participation
• Youth-led community development micro-projects
• Inter-community dialogue and social cohesion events

• Youth and young adults (ages 15-30) in conflict-affected communities
• Out-of-school youth seeking structured pathways to community engagement
• Young women and girls in underserved rural and semi-urban settings
• Community organizations seeking peacebuilding capacity support
