Lend-A-Hand Foundation is a charitable organisation assisting those in need in South Africa.

Lend-A-Hand India partners with grassroots non-profit organizations, community groups, and local governments to create better access to education, vocational training, career development, employment and entrepreneurial opportunities. The goal is to help the poor realize their full potential to meet their aspirations for a better life.

Lend-A-Hand India’s approach helps existing and new organizations replicate proven project interventions, technologies, and programs. The implementation partners are motivated to diversify and grow beyond their existing programs and projects. Lend-A-Hand India shares technical and program expertise with them and provide financial assistance to deliver time-bound and result-oriented projects.
