Hand in Hand India 4.03

Skilled little fingers spinning the loom…weaving the fabled silk sarees of Kancheepuram. Once, amidst the infinite colours of silk yarns were stories of lost childhood. And with this picture began our story - helping children yarn their stories and gradually rewriting the narratives of many rural families and villages altogether focused on enrolling child labourers in schools. Over a period of time, we broadened our interventions to address the multidimensional factors of poverty. Today, with more than a decade of work in the development sector, our integrated community development programme has Five Pillars devoted to poverty alleviation — Self-Help Groups and Microfinance, Child Labour Elimination Programme, Skills Development and Technology Centre, Health, and Environment.

We work in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Puducherry. Our model has been replicated in Afghanistan, South Africa, Kenya, Brazil, Cambodia and Myanmar.
