Hands With Hands

This Hands-with-Hands initiative has emerged since 2001 from the collaboration of several friends, primarily Kira Kay, Dipendra KC., Sharada Basnet, Shila Pandey, Ram KC, Riya & Saroja Thapa, Neel Shahi, Bikash Shahi, Rafael Ebner, Coen Völker, Nina Cejnar and more recently, Elizabeth Smith. All their team and supporters are pro bono workers for HandswithHands and also cover their extra expenses (e.g. for traveling) themselves. All funds go directly to the people of Nepal who are most in need, not to big organisations or government bodies which have potential for corruption. With this, 100% of donations arrive where they are most needed.
