History

The Hakim Development fund began with a family feud that led to a little boy being orphaned.  This boy, plagued by hunger and disease, followed his heart with a strength and resolve that seems almost impossible... but nothing is impossible through the love of God.  Afzal's Story is one of courage, drama, danger, anger and, ultimately, faithfulness.

Vision

The Hakim Development Fun is a non-profit organizatin that exists to improve the quality of life for the people of two districts of Bangladesh - Mathbaria and Faridpur.  These areas exist at a poverty level few Americans can comprehend:  no electricity, no running water, wide spread and frequent flooding, bacteria-contaminated drinking wells and no industry on which to build a better lifestyle.

Purpose

The Hakim Development Fund seeks to give hope to these people and improve their lifestyle in three specific ways:

1. Food, Clothing, and Materials...that improve the standard of 
    living to a level that enables good physical health.
2. Opportunities...to develop industries that will allow the villages
    to build toward self-sufficiency.  Educating the orphans is part
    of this goal.
3. Christ's message of love...sharing the gospel when hearts
    and minds are prepared to hear it.
