Since 1952, CHF International has worked in more than 100 countries worldwide. Currently we are operating about 90 programs in more than 30 countries. Each day, CHF International transforms promise into progress.
Mission
CHF International's mission is to be a catalyst for long-lasting positive change in low- and moderate-income communities around the world, helping them to improve their social, economic and environmental conditions.
Program
CHF International is successful because it brings together the people, organizations and resources necessary to ensure steady, sustainable change. Our programs ensure that individuals, families and communities: participate in the decisions that impact their lives; learn to work together to solve their own problems; are provided with the tools and skills needed to escape from the bonds of poverty; form productive partnerships that will sustain the cycle of progress; and develop confidence in their ability to create a brighter, more prosperous future for themselves and their communities.
