Who are we
The Big Hand is a non-governmental organization for the development that promotes the well-being of children living in unfavourable conditions, with special attention to orphan girls, ensuring their access to education, healthcare and nutrition, water and basic sanitation. Through a child centred model, The Big Hand builds schools, invests in equipment, in the training of teachers and develops, in partnership with local actors, inclusive programs that aim to prepare the children for the challenges of life in close liaison with the community where they live.
The Big Hand is a transparent institution in its processes, of citizens for citizens, and is open to any person or entity who wants to help us to change the world.
