Hand in Hand Sweden’s vision is a world where every person has the power and means to rise out of poverty, and where future generations can thrive and contribute to a sustainable future. We empower women and youth, living on less than $3.65 a day, with knowledge, skills, and capacity to develop as entrepreneurs to enhance livelihoods, demand their rights, and foster community development in a sustainable way.
Hand in Hand primarily operates in India, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and Afghanistan. Our programs strive to build strong equal communities where women can influence the distribution of resources and power structures, in the household and at community level. We contribute to social and economic empowerment so that people can drive their own change. Results so far? More than 9.3 million jobs created and over 22 million lives transformed!
