Ryan Goodwin

I am raising money to support the children of Hands Across the Water because I believe that all children deserve to build a future full of possibilities, opportunities and dreams - a life of choice, not chance.

Hands Across the Water [Hands] started as a charity in response to the Boxing Day Tsunami. Now we support 350+ children living in 7 homes and projects across Thailand. 

The kids 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 not only provides the life-saving necessities for the kids in our homes, they also support many families in an outreach program to help keep kids out of our homes.

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 kids see the opportunities that lie before them, to see a life of choice.

My hope is that you will make the choice to join me in this experience and help me reach my 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!

Getting Serious

Friday 6th Oct
Where to start? Get active, bought a new bike and now need to hit the trail. I've got a lot of hours of training a head of me, but am already grateful to be doing it with good friends and for kids that really need it.

Time to Commit!

Sunday 27th Aug
Sometimes in life we realise that there are simply bigger ways we can make a positive impact on the world! That there are far too people living in unacceptable conditions around the work and just not enough people doing anything about it.
I have now committed to the work I’ll be involved in an exiting event in 2024 to support an amazing charity and cause helping support children and orphanages in Thailand.
Stay tuned as I update you all with more and I hope you share the journey with! 

Thank you to my Sponsors
