Selective Collaboration, Proven Results

FAHU doesn't accept unsolicited applications. Instead, we proactively identify and invite credible partners whose expertise can bring innovative savings group projects to life. This selective approach ensures every partnership is grounded in mutual respect, transparent communication, and shared commitment to measurable outcomes.

We maintain our "boots on the ground" philosophy by always supporting active intervention projects. This keeps us connected to real-world challenges and ensures our funding decisions are informed by practical experience rather than theory alone.
