Helping Hands Charitable Trust
Ghar Bachao Ghar Banao
HH works closely with Ghar Bachao Ghar Banao, a movement working among the slums in Mumbai to ensure basic amenities and a source of livelihood to augment their resources. Women in the slums have been trained in the art of making handbags and clutches from waste cloth and market them during various events and exhibitions in Mumbai. Additionally, children’s centres have been started in Mankhurd where children deprived of quality education and life, learn as they play and help them become active, responsible citizens. In the past year, Helping Hands has been conducting medical camps twice a month for project affected families displaced and relocated to Mahul. Residents suffer from severe ailments owing to the toxic environment amidst refineries and chemical factories.
