We are raising money to support the children of Hands Across the Water because we believe that all children deserve to build a future full of possibili
Our dear friends Claire and Peter Baines................Hands Across the Water [Hands] started as a charity in response to the Boxing Day Tsunami. Now they support 350+ children living in 7 homes and projects across Thailand.
The children who come to live in a Hands home are there because they have no choice. This is often the result of one of three heartbreaking situations:
- They have no known family to care for them
- They have a family member who is known to them, but is unable to care for them
- They are living in an unsafe environment and have been placed in our care by the police or government
Hands provides the life-saving necessities for the children in their homes, as well as supporting many families in an outreach program.
Just as important as filling their bellies with healthy food and providing a safe bed to sleep in, with the support of amazing donors like you, the vision of Hands is to help these children see the opportunities that lie before them, to see a life of choice.
Our hope is that you will make the choice to join us in this experience and help us reach our personal fundraising goal. Please make a donation today to support these children and provide them with a better future.
Together we can truly make a difference - Donate now!
Thank you to our Sponsors
