Human Development Foundation (HDF)

The Human Development Foundation (HDF) was established in 1997 by the Pakistani diaspora to commemorate Pakistan's 50th anniversary. The foundation was envisioned as a gift to the homeland, aimed at bringing about change and development for the people. Since then, HDF has been implementing a holistic model of integrated programs committed to the overall development and poverty eradication. HDF is a non-profit organization registered in 2001 under section 42 of the Companies Act, 2017 of the Government of Pakistan and is certified by the Pakistan Center for Philanthropy (PCP). HDF works in different sectors to improve education and literacy, primary healthcare, livelihood and food security, environment protection, and WASH in 53 districts of Pakistan. HDF has positively impacted the lives of more than 3.5 million people and continues to play its role among civil society organizations in Pakistan.
