About us

Who We Are

The heart of change, where passion for the environment meets the commitment to human dignity. Human Dignity and Environmental Care Foundation (HUDEFO) was born out of a shared belief that safeguarding our environment is not just about the planet; it’s about uplifting communities, empowering individuals, and creating a future where sustainability and human dignity coexist.


Our Journey

HUDEFO officially registered in 2019, building upon the legacy of Human Dignity and Environmental Care Agency (HDECA) established in 2016. From our humble beginnings to the impactful organization we are today, our journey has been fueled by the understanding that environmental health, social well-being, and economic prosperity are interconnected.
