They are run by volunteers, with very limited means, but they represent the sector of our society that shows the greatest awareness, the most responsibility, and the most energy, and they bear our hopes for a better world. This site is dedicated to them, to provide them with information about the possibilities of grants that FTH can put at their disposal, together with some other sources of finance.
