HFF was started in Mumbai in 2013 by Naved Sheikh with a strong motive to fight and support for the rights of common people, to extend a helping hand for the most deserving individuals in the society, irrespective of any religion. HFF Wings were extended to many cities including in Mangaluru in September 2015, by a group of Good Samaritans residing in the Sultanate of Oman, Muscat. They have taken active participation and organized charity events like, visiting to the old age home at Olivina Halli where they distributed medicines and all the other necessary amenities required by the inmates for their day-today living and requirements. HFF also took the initiative of 33 poor kids’ education in Mangaluru, distributed blankets for the people sleeping on the streets, visited several orphanages and ashrams and contributed items. They have also managed to distribute 17-wheel chairs for the poor and needy.

All this was achieved and possible with the support of the good Samaritans who willingly extended their hands to become the members of the HFF family and worked together hand in hand.

With a drive to motivate and support the future charitable causes for the needy and the poor and to raise funds, HFF has joined hands with Good Samaritan Clarence Pinto.
