What started as a dream soon became a reality when a few passionate individuals came together and gave life to the idea of Give a Hand Foundation.
We are deeply concerned by the alarming realities: thousands of children in India still serve as child labourers between the ages of 5–18, and incidents of abuse and exploitation have increased fivefold in recent years, with countless children going missing every single day. The challenges are even greater for the girl child, who faces malnutrition and gender-based discrimination far too often.
It was against this backdrop that Mr. Mohan Raj, Managing Trustee, and Ms. Ponsineka P., Trustee, established Give a Hand Foundation. Their vision is simple yet powerful — to extend a helping hand to transform the lives of vulnerable children.
Through our initiatives, we strive to:
At Give a Hand Foundation, we believe that every child deserves the chance to live with dignity, learn with joy, and grow with hope. Together, we can nurture dreams and build a world where every child thrives.
Together, these values show us that kindness, integrity, and creativity can change lives — one act of care at a time.
We act with integrity, staying true to our purpose and promises.
We uphold Accountability, ensuring every effort truly touches lives.
We show Respect, embracing every child’s dignity, dreams, and potential.
And with Creativity, we find new ways to bring hope and change where it’s needed most.
