The Hand in Hand Charitable Trust works with children from the Grave-Diggers' community in Bengaluru who have, over the years, been socially and economically deprived, secluded and marginalized. We believe that in order to empower them, it is essential for them to be healthy and well educated and skilled, both vocationally and professionally. This is what we strive to do by building networks and increasing access and availability to educational and health services which have hitherto been beyond their reach. It is our vision and mission therefore, to aid and facilitate the attainment of the community’s highest potential as equal and not disadvantaged members of society, where they can employ their agency, their voices and their choices in affecting positive change, in everything that they undertake to do both for themselves and for their families.

 

We have just initiated our first project at the Kalpalli Cemetery in Bengaluru and we invite you to join us in reaching out, contributing towards and teaching the forty children who we now work closely with. Given the ecosystem our children have grown up in, seeing death from such close quarters and because of the various evils, social and otherwise, that hinder their psychological and emotional health and their overall growth trajectory, we deal with each and every one of them on a one - to - one basis and most importantly, ours is an approach steeped in love. Our organisation's aim and tag - line therefore, 'Where Hope Comes Alive' is a testament to this commitment and we really hope you hop on to this bandwagon of change as well.
