Helping Hands is an independent voluntary aid organization that was founded 1995 in Sweden, by a small group of people, with a wish to be of help and assistance to those in need of aid and support in primarily Eastern Europe and the Baltics. In recent years even more destinations were added to our aid programs.

We started by sending hospital equipment that we received from the closing of Boo Hospital in Nacka, Stockholm to a hospital in Latvia. The situation was desperate as they were in great need of equipment and had they not received our aid they would have had greater difficulty in continuing their work.

Since then we have been able to be of assistance on many different occasions and places and it has been very satisfactory to be able to finish every aspect successfully.

Our aid work would not function, were it not for the people that work in the field. All the hours spent with custom clearing, delivering and supplying the children in the orphanages with their needs, thus making sure that the aid ends up where it should.

Helping Hands is very thankful for the generous people and companies that donate clothes and other necessities in large quantities for our aid shipments. Their support has enabled us to reach out to many more in need.
