Helping Hands Unlimited

Hhu works with christian schools in the dominican republic. There are currently six schools in our program. The primary part is a sponsorship program to help keep costs down for families to send their children to these schools. Hhu also provides occasional help to train teachers, funds for breakfasts for students, and occasional help and funds for maintenance and construction needs for several schools. We try to keep the support at a level that helps keep the schools open but not at a level that makes them dependent on us to keep their doors open. We also help several university students with their expenses.

Hhu works with programs that focus on Helping children and families in the dominican republic. Hhu currently works with two orphanages with financial support and help with special needs. Hhu operates a program to help older children transition out of the orphanages into their adulthood. Hhu helps families with special medical needs, such as a father needing heart valve replacement surgery, or a mother and small child who was blind and had some physical handicaps since birth. Hhu also helped distribute food in several impoverished haitian communities in the dominican republic. Hhu also constructed a building that will be used as a church, community center, and storm shelter for occasional hurricanes.

Hhu works with the home of hope orphanage in murombedzi, zimbabwe. The orphanage is home for sixteen children without parents. The orphanage assures the children have necessitites (food, shelter, education, etc). In addition to this program, we have assisted in creating income opportunities to help the orphanage become self-sustaining, such as raising produce and livestock to feed them and allowing them to sell the excess to local people. We have also started a small business training program to help people in the community.
