Program Synopsis

Hand in Hand Ministries is an international social services organization that seeks to make a difference in the lives of the poor, especially abandoned and disabled children. We believe that all people deserve life’s essentials - food, water, clothing, shelter, education and medical care - and that we are called to help provide them.


An important part of what we do as a small, grassroots organization is offer people in the States the opportunity for hands-on experiences of the developing world through our unique program of immersion trips. It is our hope that they will return home and become better for the experience while working to build a more just world.

In all that we do, we seek to build community.
