The Lifting Hands Foundation (LH) is an NGO with a strong record of success in poverty reduction strategies.
Since 2012, LH has emphasized the promotion of human development and prevention of social issues (such as educational exclusion, juvenile offending, adolescent pregnancy, drug dealing and drug use) in vulnerable communities through learning, recreational activities and accompaniment targeting children, youth, and adults.
The main goal of LH is to reduce the rates of poverty, unemployment and marginalization within the community, as well as the development of skills to ensure more opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Lifting Hands’ activities are supported by an enthusiastic +1500 integrants volunteer base and +120 private sector partnerships. This support contributes to LH’ success so far, with over 1000 people helped directly and over 5000 indirectly. The Foundation’s staff is integrated by 7 people, from which 5 are 100% focused on programs, including a community leader, plus more than 200 regular volunteers.
