Hidaya Institute of Farming & Agriculture

Hidaya trains poor youth from villages in agricultural practices so they may learn to work and yield crops to support their families. Under the Hidaya Institute of Farming & Agriculture (HIFA) project youth learn practices such as Hands-on Agriculture Training, Animal Farm Training, Timber Farm Training, Fruit & Vegetable Training, Saline Agriculture Training and more. Training is conducted at Hidaya Garden, one of  Hidaya’s properties.

Activities taking place under HIFA include:

• Students at HIFA learn how to prepare for and harvest crops such as rice, date and mango, which can complement other food distribution via our One Million Meals project.
• Harvested food is donated to poor families and students which Hidaya supports under Support Hidaya Schools, Support Poor Students, and No Orphan without Education projects.
• Students at HIFA also learn how to grow seedlings at Hidaya’s nursery which are later planted in the ground via the One Million Trees project.
• Students who learn farming practices through HIFA spend the morning learning in our Adult Education courses, which they are given an accelerated 6 month course to complete the 8th grade.
• Farm animals are raised up and prepared for distribution via our Animal Farming project.  Also, during Qurbani/Udhiya time, cows and goats are bought in advance at better rates and cared for before Eid.
