Hand in Hand India, our founding organisation, was registered in 2004. The organisation’s roots can be traced to the vision of eradicating child labour in Kancheepuram, a district in Tamil Nadu, India, known for its 500-year-old silk weaving industry. What began as a focus on one thematic area has significantly expanded into five major thematic areas, namely, Child Labour Elimination and Education, Women Empowerment and Job Creation, Access to Affordable Healthcare, Skill Development & Technology Centres, and Environment – Natural Resource Management and Sustainable Waste Management. Hand in Hand India now works in 20 states in India, and our global presence can be traced in 9 countries spread over 3 continents. It is also noteworthy to highlight that Hand in Hand India is a UNFCCC Observer NGO.
The Socio Economic and Education Development (SEED) Trust targets people at the bottom of the pyramid and aims to create a sustainable and replicable poverty reduction model. Sharing Hand in Hand India’s vision and mission, SEED Trust focuses on implementing integrated community development projects for poverty reduction in the spheres of waste management, health, and skill development.
