They are no longer dependent on anyone for their basic activities. Prosthesis helps people regain not only their self-respect and confidence, but also inspires others to stay positive.

The Helping Hands Foundation is the only NGO working with Tata Memorial Hospital providing free accommodation to children staying on the footpaths and we are currently supporting more than 50 families per month.
An in-depth study and research done in 2012 by the Tata Memorial Hospital found that approximately more than 60% of the cancer affected children abandon their treatment mainly due to lack of hygienic accommodation.
Apart from preventing infections and expediting treatment, the accommodation we provide also keeps the families together during such difficult times and this has exponentially reduced the rate of abandonment.
Only 2 of 10 children survive Cancer in India compared to 8 out of 10 children worldwide. We are striving to improve this and also take it further by helping the children become productive citizens in society post treatment.
The Helping Hands Foundation started as a CAS Project by IB Students from Ecole Mondiale World School. The Helping Hands Foundation is a voluntary organization and is always in need of your help. While we have our trustees and sponsors, we still need volunteers to help us execute our plans. If you would like to dedicate some of your time to helping others, feel free to get in touch with us.
