We’re celebrating HHI’s 8th birthday this month! What’s our birthday wish? To reach 799 more children like him…

Hands to Hearts International trains caregivers to improve the earliest development of vulnerable children in some of the world’s most challenging environments.

By giving to our birthday campaign, you’re helping us reach our goal of training the caregivers of 800 additional vulnerable children in rural India this month! 

Why do we do what we do?

More than 200 million children under age five are not meeting their developmental potential because of situations like poverty, conflict, disaster and neglect (Lancet Journal).

How does HHI help?

We train caregivers including mothers, day care, orphanage and health care workers on early childhood development, health and the critical importance of attachment and bonding with children in their earliest years.

What’s the long term impact?

These 800 children will benefit from improved language, social, cognitive and physical development, as well as their nutrition and overall health, all while cultivating attachment and bonding with caregivers, establishing the base for all future relationships. HHI’s training results are as dramatic as reduced infant mortality. Caregivers are empowered to raise healthy, educated and capable children and have new pride as caregivers. The entire community benefits as they share HHI’s messages!

What I learned from HHI’s training would have saved my baby’s life. Now I know how to properly feed my babies and I’m sharing this with everyone in my village.”  ~ Seeta, Trained Mother, Tamil Nadu, India
