Hands Together is a nonprofit organization devoted to educating, inspiring and encouraging people to understand and respond to the needs of people, especially the poor and disadvantaged. Our Mission, as we strive to build a more compassionate and human world, proceeds from the spiritual belief that all people are members of one, equal, interconnected family under a loving God.

Hands Together carries out its mission through projects and programs aimed at improving the quality of life for the very poor - primarily in Haiti. These projects rest upon a foundation of Catholic social teaching that recognizes the dignity of every person and the fundamental option for the poor and vulnerable. We embrace, with a special love, those children and families who are completely marginalized and living in squalor.

Through schools, orphanages, nutrition and feeding programs, medical clinics, sustainable development projects, and partnerships with local leaders and communities, Hands Together is building a better world for thousands of suffering people in Haiti. Hands Together volunteers contribute to this work through organized delegations and programs for those with specialized training like doctors & medical professionals, builders, water well technicians, mechanics and teachers.
