HANDS AROUND THE WORLD helps needy children around the world, sending volunteers to offer practical help, skill-sharing and friendship at our partner centres. 

HATW works currently in Africa and India and strives for happy, healthy children who are safe, cared for, listened to, well fed, clothed, housed and in school.

More than 2000 children benefit every day, many are orphans and coping with disabilities.

Happily, the lives of many others too have been transformed through our involvement over the last 18 years.

There are at least 25 million orphaned children in Africa today. Most are victims of HIV / AIDS.
