Open Hands India has initially been set up to raise funds for three projects that are already running but require money if they are to continue and to extend their work with communities in chronic need. The projects are Jagruthi Trust, Birds Heal and Planet Hope.

All three projects are working to relieve poverty by:

• Improving educational opportunities (especially for vulnerable children)

• Improving access to health care

• Bringing about social and economic change through developing self-help savings groups and providing training in income generating skills

Access to education, health care and the opportunity to generate higher incomes results in incredible changes in the lives of these people. For more information about these projects,click on the pictures below or return to the expanded menu.
