This blog post explores how FHG supports rural youth, from offering online training programs to promoting community-based networks.
The Challenges Faced by Rural Youth
Rural areas often lack the infrastructure and resources available in urban centers, presenting obstacles for young people seeking economic and personal growth. Key challenges include:
- Limited Access to Education and Training: Many rural areas lack advanced educational facilities or vocational training programs.
- Unemployment and Poverty: Job opportunities are scarce, and entrepreneurial ventures are often hindered by inadequate funding and support.

FHG recognizes these challenges and strives to overcome them through targeted initiatives tailored to rural communities.
