Charity Hands
Charity Hands wants to make a difference to the people in need in India
and Cameroon. Their vision is not only helping them through the day, but also in the future therefore they have started many self-supporting projects, such as giving access to clean drinking water, supplying microcredit's to gypsy families living in the slums of Chennai, etc. They expose this in the pay-off: "Give a man a fish and he will eat for one day; teach him how to fish and he will eat for life".
LOTI was fortunate enough to establish contact with Charity Hands which is
based in the Nederlands. Two volunteers have already visited the location in Cameroon last year, supporting LOTI's cause with providing 250 G external harddrive, digital and web camera, memory sticks and a lap top. They also took care of the internet installation as well as other related
issues with the maintenance and the internet connection. Charity hands is one of LOTI's most important partners and sponsors and we hope for long and lasting collaboration in the years to come.
