Education & hope for 165 needy children in India

In the story of Reaching Hand, 2020-21 was a chapter of myriad milestones as well as learnings. We believe in learning from challenges instead of allowing them to deter us from our purpose of existence - to “Build, Care, Serve”. This belief has been moving us forward in the strife for justice and fairness. Reaching Hand reveres the community as “the heart” of the society and every action put forth by the organization aims to benefit the community and its members, whether through the umbrella programme “My Community” or programmes like “Govt school adoption”, “Youth skill development and placement”, “Women empowerment”, “Foster Care Home” and “School for the underprivileged” focusing on the effective members of the community. Therefore, when 2021 presented the second spell of COVID-19, most of our focus was channeled into relief and rehabilitation support to the community. As we look back at the impact we’ve created together, the lives we’ve touched and the smiles we’ve received along the way, on behalf of Reaching Hand, I would like to sound out our gratitude to our stakeholders who have backed us to aim higher and to achieve our ambitious goals. The collective efforts of our stakeholders - our children, youth, women, corporate partners, donors, government and our volunteers are truly appreciable. Ultimately, the board of governance - without which none of this would have materialized into being. At last, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all our dedicated staffs who worked hard in the midst of various challenges due to the pandemic, they even risked their lives and the families and cheerfully served the community.
