Our Philosophy - Helping Hands Africa

Home

I am only one, but I am still one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Hellen Keller

Our Philosophy

Helping Hands Africa does not initiate, nor impose any project or activity upon any community, but we respond to the initiatives of local communities and churches, by partnering with them in their efforts and activities.

Through consultation, training and support to the community, we lend a helping hand in the endeavour to gain self-sustainability for the projects and the beneficiaries over a certain time period. The end result is, thus, a self-continuation in such projects and programmes without the need of further investment of time, funding and other resources, allowing us to further our work in other areas of need.

We also seek to develop a compassionate lifestyle in every person with whom we work because we strongly believe that every person has the capacity to learn to help themselves, and, through doing so, also be able to help others.
