Who we are
About Helping Hands
A registered non-profit working for food, health and education since 2008.
Our mission
To make sure every family in the communities we serve has enough to eat, access to a doctor, and a child in school, and to build local leadership that keeps those gains after we step back.
We are registered as a public charitable trust in Karnataka, hold 12A and 80G registration, and publish audited accounts every year.
