Where we work

Since starting in India in 2003, we’re now 8 CEOs and 8 independent boards in 8 countries to maximise impact. And that’s just the start.

Hand in Hand is committed to decentralised, locally led transformation because we believe it’s the best way to fuel sustainable, long-term impact. Each base in our network creates local jobs on arrival and uses local knowledge to design and deliver according to each region’s unique needs.

This ensures decision-making power stays within the communities we serve so they can shape the future they want.
