Supporting a Worthy Cause
Hand in Hand USA supports Hariharananda Balashram, a sanctuary for destitute children. With over 95% of funds raised directly benefiting the cause, every step taken during the walkathon will provide these children with free education, nutritious food, and safe shelter.
Hariharananda Balashram is located in a remote area with limited access to quality education and resources. Through support from the community, the organization aims to equip the school with computers and interactive class boards, enabling remote learning and giving these children the same educational opportunities as those in urban areas.
Personal Stories: Lives Transformed
One of Hand in Hand USA’s most compelling aspects is the personal stories of transformation. Take Rani, for example. Before joining Hariharananda Balashram, Rani faced numerous hardships, including a lack of food and access to education. Today, thanks to the support she received, Rani excels in her studies and dreams of becoming a teacher to give back to her community.
Volunteers also share heartwarming experiences. Anita, a longtime volunteer, recalls her first visit to the Balashram. “I was overwhelmed by the children’s resilience and determination. Their smiles and gratitude made me realize the profound impact of our efforts. It’s truly life-changing.”
