Hand in Hand International

Who we are

Look at poverty differently and you'll see grassroots entrepreneurs, full of energy and ideas. Hand in Hand helps turn their skill and potential into jobs. They find a way out of poverty.

Our work proceeds in four stages. First, we recruit groups of would-be entrepreneurs and teach them to save. Next, we provide business and skills training to help them get up and running. If they need a small start-up loan – and they’ve got the business plan to prove it – we provide that, too. And to help grow their businesses once they’re firmly established, we plug them into bigger markets and value chains.
