Future In Our Hands International Network

HOME

FIOH is a network of Future in Our Hands groups, non-government organisations and individuals from around the world who all share a similar approach to solving development and world problems. We remain convinced that change is best achieved by a grassroots bottom up philosophy.

Our mission has been to help some of the poorest and most marginalised people in the world, empowering them and their local communities. Moreover we endeavour to find sustainable ways to overcome poverty, raise ecological awareness and create meaningful social change, emphasizing  gender equality. 

The FIOH Education and Development  Fund – a Charity Commission approved  organisation  based on this ethos principles – is currently focusing its support through three main partners:

​

​

Youth Leading The World Sierra Leone

YLTW

The debilitating symptoms and impact of Monkey pox

Hearts

Integrated Agricultural Association
 

This  cooperative NGO  is lead by our  reliable and trustworthy contact Alpha Kargbo. Son of our original contact Edward Kargbo. We have worked with them both  since 1990s building schools and currently repairing and improving them with computer buildings and equipment.

Other crucial projects have included re-afforestation in the Sahel, supporting subsistence agriculture and promoting public health education, countering superstition and misinformation on topics including  Aids, Ebola, Covid and Monkey pox.

HEARTS FOUNDATION (formerly HEARTS) began in January 2000 as a response to the vulnerability and neglect of street children found begging and living rough on the platforms of Guntur station, Andhra Pradesh. Our focus was on early intervention, re-uniting with
families wherever possible and providing opportunities through Education, Health Care and Vocational Training. HEARTS has also assisted poor communities affected by climate induced disasters. The FIOH Fund has supported the HEARTS Foundation since its formation and continues to do so in 2026.

Long term support would be greatly appreciated.

Nearly all the support the FIOH Fund is able to provide to our partner organisations  comes from the generous help and donations we receive from our loyal and regular supporters. We are especially thankful to all of you, including some who have been helping us from the start over 30 years ago. Without your support, none of the stories and positive changes we’ve helped make happen would be possible. We have given well  in excess of half a million pounds sterling to generations of disadvantaged. Rest assured that  all the money you donate will help those in need as we have only volunteers and limited overheads.

If you are UK-based and would like to provide long-term support, you can do this by downloading the Donation Form and returning to FIOH Fund, 11 Orchard Grove Swindon SN2 7QR
