The type of activities undertaken by the organization range from capacity building to service delivery, with focus remaining on girls and the other deprived and marginalized segments of the society. Whereas in terms of operations what characterizes HIFA’s functioning are its efforts to (a) enlist involvement of the locals when initiating activities at the grass root level; and (b) mobilize girls and women for bringing safety, tolerance, and development in society, (c) involvement of district authorities in education, health, justice, labour and social welfare, (d) working in partnership with other local NGOs with similar goals and objectives as HIFA.
