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

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

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

Could you join hands with us? It could be the most fulfilling, challenging, emotional, worthwhile, memorable experience of your life.

We also need more supporters because TOGETHER WE CAN AND DO REALLY MAKE A LASTING DIFFERENCE in the lives of these children!

Some skills needed: construction work (not just professional builders), foster carers, child care, primary teachers and classroom assistants, occupational and physiotherapists.

 'Our hands around the world may get grubby and blistered, they may need to hold a sick child or comfort a grieving parent, they may sometimes be asked simply to hold the hand of another, but there is always more to these hands than practical help alone.'
