WHAT IS HESED H-1 PROGRAM
WHO WE ARE
HESED is a non-profit organization committed to exposing and fighting poverty and improving the living conditions of disadvantaged people through sports, education, and cultural enrichment.
We believe that creating stable and thriving communities can be accomplished not only through donations but also by empowering disadvantaged populations, providing access to a wide range of educational, social, and cultural opportunities to children – especially those in difficult situations.
To accomplish this Hesed’s program named H-1, we collaborates with schools, sports, and cultural organizations, partners whose services and programs meet our organizational objectives.
WHO WE DO
Francis Kouadio
President
The concept for the Hesed organization was inspired by our founder’s personal experiences. Born into a modest family with limited opportunities and resources, Francis found that the one place he could go for exercise and to feel a sense of achievement was a nearby sports club. Access to sports kept him in good health and encouraged him to further his education, obtain a degree, and become successfully employed.
Hesed is dedicated to helping disadvantaged children receive the kind of help Francis received growing up: the opportunity to develop a talent, attend school, live in a safe environment, and have a financially secure and successful future.
