Learn about our mission, vision, and the values that drive our work.

Our Story

Founded in 2010, Helping Hands began as a small group of volunteers committed to making a difference in their local community. What started as weekend food drives has grown into an international organization with programs spanning education, healthcare, and environmental conservation.

Over the years, we've learned that sustainable change comes from empowering communities with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive. Our approach focuses on long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.

Today, we operate in 15 countries with a team of dedicated staff and volunteers who share our vision of a world where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
