1. Children/Youth Education.
2. Youth Programs, including Sports, Music and Performances.
3. Health and Nutrition:

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.
