A child needs much attention at the childhood stage for his/her better future of his/her family and the whole society.

SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY
Under this initiative HEM is focusing on long-term and sustainable results. The project addresses the problems of youth and other members of the community. At this level, HEM helps youth to expand their capabilities by promoting creativity and innovation matching with their talents and vocations. Then, HEM helps them start new projects and to be prepared to their future and the future of their families. So, HEM organizes seminars, conferences, professional training, and study trips to equip them with wide knowledge and skills needed in their lives. Lastly but not the least, HEM provide start-up capital to the youth at the end of the professional training and follows up to make sure that their visions becomes realities.
