About Us
hands responds to human suffering
Be it war, natural disasters, famine, under development or exploitation, hands can provide relief, assistance and support to those in need regardless of political, ethnic, or religious views.
hands encourages self sufficiency
Being sensitive to the local peoples' needs and their environment, hands assists with the design and development of income generation projects that help poor and disadvantaged people in becoming self-sufficient.
hands collaborates with local communities
By ensuring that the involvement of non-national staff is kept to a minimum, hands encourages a strong sense of ownership by local people.
Project success and sustainability depends on local people, their knowledge of their environment and their skills and experience. With relatively little help they can change their lives, their families and their communities.
