AT HOA, our firm belief is that education, employment, and entrepreneurship are key to success regardless of the part of the world youth and their families live in.

At its inception in 2009, HOA (formerly Dufashanye Canada Foundation until its name amendment in June 2014) operated international educational and economic empowerment projects in Burundi, Africa. The charity’s focus was to help underprivileged children access a decent education and finance projects that allowed less privileged women and families create jobs and generate income. In 2016, HOA widened its focus to Alberta to empower newcomers and immigrants to successfully integrate in Alberta and in Canada through education, employment, and entrepreneurship. 

HOA’s purposes have been amended to focus on empowering underserved youth and their families through education, employment, and entrepreneurship. Contact:
