We are Joining Hands, an NGO with a network of over 45 partner NGOs engaged in different aspects of community development. We collaborate to manage volunteering that is accountable and adds value to the work of NGOs. We also conduct skills-building workshops and give presentations to raise awareness on important issues.
We have partnerships with United Nations Volunteers, Indian Universities like IIFT, forums like AEGEE Volunteering Network of European Students and International Universities in France and Belgium and are in process of developing programs for Harvard Business School and University of London. We request your support to ensure continuity of our programs in providing an extremely valuable service to our partner NGOs.
