Supporting Voluntary and Community Action
HANDS AROUND THE WORLD (HATW) helps needy vulnerable children around the world, mostly in Africa. 2000 children benefit every day from our work. Many are orphans and/or coping with disabilities. We strive for happy, healthy children who are safe, cared for, listened to, well fed, clothed, housed and in school. We support projects that have been set up by local people in their communities and, as part of this suport, send appropriate, enthusiastic and well-prepared volunteers on short-term placements, offering practical help, skill-sharing, support and friendship.
