Poverty Alleviation
Next to AIDS, poverty is the largest crisis facing Africa. By providing training opportunities for the villagers, Helping Hands empowers them to take responsibility for their own economic upliftment, thus restoring dignity and hope for the future. The cycle of poverty along with all its accompanying social ills is thus broken.
Village Women’s Cooperative
Women are trained in such skills as fabric painting, bead work, pottery and other African crafts learning much needed business and commercial skills necessary for their business to become self-supporting and owned and operated by the women of the village. The products are sold to various local markets as well as being exported.
