Hand in Hand Network
We believe local communities hold the keys to their own economic transformation. Our operating model is based on a strategic collaboration between expert practitioners in low and middle-income countries, and fundraisers in high-income countries.
Hand in Hand’s programmes are designed and implemented by network partners in Afghanistan, India, East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania) and Zimbabwe. Network partners in the UK (Hand in Hand International), Sweden, Germany and the US provide technical support and fundraising.
