Recognizing that each community faces unique challenges as well as advantages, FH is committed to an integrated, holistic approach to development including priorities such as agriculture, education, health, livelihoods, disaster risk reduction, and gender equality.
FH believes in facilitating innovative, long-term solutions and providing everyone an opportunity to join in the pursuit of a poverty-free world.
Ben Hoogendoorn, a businessman in the agricultural industry, joined FH Canada as a volunteer in 1997, then in 2001 began working with the organization as Director of International Operations.
Perceiving another timely opportunity, and getting back to its roots and expertise as a humanitarian aid organization, FH Canada expanded its efforts to bring relief to hurting families.
“In light of the unparalleled suffering we see today, we want to engage the world of relief with a mind toward long-term development strategies.” -Lindsay Brucks, former Director of IMED
