Celebrating the Inexplicable Joy of Uplifting Others
Help create a better future for children in poverty!
We envision a future India free from poverty where all children, regardless of background or class have equal opportunity to get an education. We provide education to children from underprivileged or low income families to achieve this goal. The early childhood years are the most crucial in the development of the child, both physically and mentally. Building Blocks’ resolution to starting early gives its beneficiaries a head start in life.
Since 1998, the Helping Hand team consists of like-minded individuals who have made it their life’s calling to help those in need. Our team’s members have chosen to live and work together as one family; enabling us to vastly enhance our efforts as well as greatly cut down our overhead. Members are non-salaried and rely on donations to cover costs.
Members of Helping Hand strive to meet the needs of others through a wide range of humanitarian efforts, including emergency relief efforts, food and aid distribution, support of abused woman and children, distribution of aid packages for HIV/AIDS and TB, volunteer training, capacity building for the underprivileged, and education initiatives. We are constantly on the look-out to physically improve the structures and maintenance of existing initiatives. Members also provide emotional and spiritual support for relief workers, and engage in programs in hospitals, orphanages, creches, schools, refugee camps, and shelters.
Arriba las Manos is a foundation that supports education and the arts as tools to combat poverty.
Ararca is a small, marginalized community of about 1,300 people on the northern coast of Colombia, by the Caribbean Sea.Up until 2010 they didn’t have running water in the homes and all the streets were unpaved, very dusty in the dry season and muddy in the rainy season. The only public space was the state school, which didn’t have a library because there was no librarian provided by the government.
Two young sisters living in the nearby city of Cartagena decided to organize weekly workshops for the primary students… and that’s how it started…
