Mission

HANDS AROUND THE WORLD seeks to help vulnerable children around the world, encouraging enthusiastic and well-prepared volunteers to offer practical help, skill-sharing, support and friendship.

Programs

HATW works mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, also in India and Brazil. Since 1994 we have sent 400+ short-term volunteers to help on projects, mostly small groups on building projects but also skilled individuals skill-sharing and training. We are most concerned that all our volunteers should be well orientated, to understand the situation into which they are going and to be culturally-sensitive. On their return we challenge them to use their experience and maintain ongoing supportive links.
