Testimonials

“We believe children have better futures when their families earn sustainable incomes, which is why we are supporting Hand in Hand with a US $3.6 million grant. Our partnership with Hand in Hand will help thousands of women and young people in Kenya create jobs and small businesses that can stand up to climate change. We are really excited to launch this partnership and begin our work together!” IKEA Foundation
"The UBS Optimus Foundation works to ensure children are safe, healthy and educated. By working with Hand in Hand to empower mothers in rural India with essential skills such as early childhood development, financial education and basic literacy, that’s exactly what we’re doing. Empower mothers and their children will follow." UBS Optimus Foundation
"Cevian Capital is proud to support Hand in Hand. As one of their Village Programme sponsors, we are helping to transform life in Mai Mahiu, Kenya, by backing the creation of 300 micro-enterprises. We look forward to watching Mai Mahiu flourish, and encourage others to sponsor villages of their own." Cevian Capital
"Philanthropy has always been at the core of our ethos. We have been mindful that the benefits of the success we have enjoyed should be shared with the local communities where our businesses operate and flourish. Our philanthropic efforts are aimed at helping to empower the less fortunate. Partnering with Hand in Hand helps us to further this goal because their initiatives are well thought out, targeted, measurable and evaluated to ensure the highest return." Kewalram Chanrai Group
Alquity’s Transforming Lives Programme promotes enterprise and employability in developing economies. By providing the micro-credit and business training, Hand in Hand is helping entrepreneurs to lift themselves out of poverty, directly in alignment with Alquity’s objectives. Hand in Hand’s focus on business training and the creation of sustainable jobs is a particularly effective and commendable approach to development. Alquity
Instant Impact is the UK’s leading intern and graduate recruitment agency. Fitting, then, that we’ve partnered with Hand in Hand International, the country’s leading job creation NGO. For the next year, we’ll pay for the creation of one job abroad every time we fill a vacancy here at home, donating a minimum of £10,000. For hundreds of Hand in Hand members, the partnership will mean the difference between subsistence and success. For Instant Impact staff, it will mean the chance to transform a family’s fortunes – the best incentive possible. Instant Impact
"Make My Day Better is the charity established by DialAFlight and the Lotus Group, one of the UK’s leading travel companies. We fund projects in the UK and around the world, guided by the principle that the majority of our funding should directly benefit people in need.

We are pleased to support Hand in Hand to train women in Kenya to become ‘Mumpreneurs’. The emphasis on saving, training and entrepreneurship creates sustainable micro-businesses that will transform the lives of the women, their families and whole communities." Lotus Group
“Founded in 2011, THQ Nordic is a global video game publisher and developer employing some 250 people. We understand the value of entrepreneurship and it just seemed right to support Hand in Hand, which is creating millions of micro-entrepreneurs in Africa and Asia.” THQ Nordic
