WHERE WE WORK

Currently, there are 110 million refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) who have been forcibly uprooted due to war, conflict, and climate change. This refugee crisis is reshaping political geography and demands greater human rights advocacy from all of us in this interconnected global society. Refugees who are well-informed and maintain reliable connections to their home communities experience better well-being and are less vulnerable to negative influences and exploitation. The potential impact of Hello Future in addressing these challenges is immense.

Arbat Refugee Camp & Sulaymaniah in Iraqi Kurdistan

Our roots and mission began in Arbat Refugee Camp, where we first started our work before expanding into the city of Sulaymaniah. However, there is a pressing need for holistic youth development, particularly for refugees, IDPs, and at-risk youth.

In 2023-24, we began the next phase of our work — building organizational capacities across varied community-based organizations helping them establish and rapidly scale a proven youth development program.

We are now working globally — in the U.S., Jordan, and Iraqi Kurdistan, and soon in East Africa and Colombia. It will take all of us to prevent a lost generation.

We work with refugee, IDP and at-risk youth age 14-25

Train the Trainer

We are building a Train the Trainer program to train other implementation partners in how to deliver our curriculum. Please email us for more details.

Gender Equity

We are dedicated to maintaining at least a 1:1 gender parity in our classrooms so that there are at least the same number of girls as boys.

Expansion Plans

Building on the success of our work, we are seeking partnerships with established organizations in MENA region, Colombia, East Africa and the US. In addition to more local Kurdish partners in the governorates of Erbil, Duhok, and Mosul. Hello Future is designed as a sustainable, scalable, portable, and adaptable supplemental education program.
