About Us

Everybody deserves freedom.

The freedom to know where your next meal is coming from, to look after your family and to make basic decisions about your life.

At the Freedom Development Foundation, we take this freedom seriously and our focus is ensuring those most in need receive your support. Your donations will empower and uplift entire communities giving thousands the freedom to believe, tomorrow can be better.

Whatever amount you give, it’s not just a donation but peace of mind, security, and giving a chance to someone with far less to have the freedom to live life on their terms.

Changing The Way You Give

Focus of our projects

With ¾ of the population completely reliant on agriculture, the focus of our projects is to provide the essential foundations and amenities from which the local people can build their lives. Access to food, clean water, tools, and education. We create the opportunity for people to provide for themselves, their families and their community.

Those in poverty are feeding a family on less than 50p a day

Only 44.72% have access to clean water.

How You Can Help

Volunteer With Us

FDF recognises that our volunteers are not only the backbone of everything that we do, but crucial to the success of whether a project even gets off the ground. We need your help in all stages of our projects from ideas and planning to logistics and being on the ground. 

Volunteers play a pivotal role and are the difference between a project being successful or not. 

If you are ready to spend your time and energy supporting those in hardship, we would love to hear from you.
