Hand In Hand Switzerland
was founded in 2013 as an expert entity to support the activities of Hand in Hand India, Cambodia, Myanmar and Sri Lanka.
What We Do
For creating an equal, sustainable and prosperous world, we strongly believe that primary focus on the 3E approach, along with the Dream Village model, is of utmost importance
We engage with vulnerable children and youth from remote and rural areas and provide access to quality education and opportunities through our residential and non-residential programmes, which are holistic in nature.
We believe that women can be the powerhouse of change, and thereby financially empower women from rural communities through our Self Help Group-Micro Enterprises programme so they can become self-sufficient entrepreneurs and bring about social change.
We create climate-resilient communities through large-scale environment initiatives that focus on climate-smart agriculture and waste management programmes, with major emphasis on marginal farmers, water conservation, waste segregation, and knowledge dissemination.
Directly addressing poverty, our 30-month Dream Village programme elevates rural spaces by improving social indicators of environment, education, and empowerment through a community-oriented participatory approach leading to sustainability.
