Our partners worldwide

Our work would not be possible without the dedicated people on the ground. Our partners in the project countries know the people, their stories and their hopes. Together with them, we develop projects and solutions that truly fit. Together, we are a strong community that brings hope to where it is needed most.

Our focus areas are protection from violence, school and education, and survival and health, including during famines and disaster situations – often where no one else helps.

With heart and mind, we are committed to a world in which all people can live peaceful, healthy and self-determined lives.

Our donors are part of our team. Because only together, and thanks to your donation, can we change lives!

With a donation, you give a child the gift of survival. We, the team at Helfende Hände, make sure it becomes reality.

Derek H.

Emergency Relief Operations Manager

“Every child deserves a future in which they can live safely, healthily and freely. That is what we fight for – we go resolutely to where help is lacking – that is not just our task. It is our responsibility.”

I thank our donors from the bottom of my heart, because only through them is it possible to give hope back to poor souls. That touches me deeply!”

What drives us

Our Vision

Actively helping with heart and mind - Helfende Hände International

Natural disasters, extreme weather, poverty, wars and conflicts lead to hunger, disease, lack of access to education, exploitation, despair and violence in many parts of this world. Innocent children are particularly affected. Together with partners, we help protect children’s lives and turn them for the better – for a future worth living in their home communities.

Our focus areas are protection from violence, school and education, and survival and health, including during famines and disaster situations – often where no one else helps.

With heart and mind, we are committed to a world in which children and people can live peaceful, healthy and self-determined lives.
