Lend-A-Hand Foundation
Unverified non-profit organisation
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. One of the projects is Project Swadheen (meaning self-motivated) which provides vocational training and career guidance to young boys and girls from urban and rural communities in pre-identified trades. Training is provided in 20 different skills such as poultry farming, garage mechanic, fabrication, carpentry, electric maintenance, tailoring, nursing assistance, construction, pathological analysis, housekeeping, tattoo making, and personal grooming. Girls and boys in the age group of 14 – 20 who have attained functional literacy through non-formal and formal education and participate in these training programs. Full and partial scholarships are provided to the deserving participants.
