Our projects
What we work with
At Helping Hands, our work is built on the idea of self-help. We want to give children, young people and families in Tanzania support that can make a difference in everyday life, while also creating more opportunities for the future.
Education is an important part of our work. When a family is not able to cover what is needed, we can help make it possible for the children to go to school and complete their education.
Sometimes we support one child. Other times, we support a whole family, so that the family can use the help where it is needed most. Our goal is for the support to give people a better chance to manage on their own over time.
We do not want anyone to be left behind
We also meet people in urgent and difficult situations, and we do not want to turn our backs on anyone. If we meet someone who is ill and cannot afford necessary medical care, we help them too, so they can recover and return to everyday life.
We also care about family planning and sexual health. Together with local healthcare professionals, we have held courses with information, free contraception and free HIV testing. We want the women we meet to have the knowledge and opportunity to make safe choices for themselves and their future.
