Hand in Hand India Hand in Hand India is a Public Charity that works to alleviate poverty through enterprise creation and a unique integrated community development approach.

Skilled little fingers spinning the loom…weaving the fabled silk sarees of Kancheepuram. Once, amidst the infinite colours of silk yarns were stories of lost childhood. And with this picture began our story - helping children yarn their stories and gradually rewriting the narratives of many rural families and villages altogether focused on enrolling child labourers in schools. Over a period of time, we broadened our interventions to address the multidimensional factors of poverty. Today, with more than a decade of work in the development sector, our integrated community development programme has Five Pillars devoted to poverty alleviation — Self-Help Groups and Microfinance, Child Labour Elimination Programme, Skills Development and Technology Centre, Health, and Environment. We work in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Puducherry. Our model has been replicated in Afghanistan, South Africa, Kenya, Brazil, Cambodia and Myanmar.

🚦 Hygiene On Go: Bringing dignity and sanitation to those who keep Bengaluru moving.

Traffic police personnel spend long hours on the road, often with limited access to basic sanitation. Hygiene On Go (HOG) brings mobile sanitation facilities directly to their duty locations.

Supported through the CSR initiative of Renault Nissan Technology and Business Centre India Pvt. Ltd. (RNTBCI) and implemented by Hand in Hand India, the initiative has made a meaningful difference since its launch in December 2025:

📍 103 traffic junction halts

🚻 20,466 service usages

👮 2,012 personnel supported during special Bandobust duties

🚐 3 GPS-enabled mobile sanitation vehicles

With separate facilities for men and women, HOG is helping create safer, more inclusive and dignified working conditions, particularly for women personnel.

By bringing sanitation closer to where officers work, we are helping reduce duty interruptions while supporting the health, safety and dignity of those who keep our city moving.

Small infrastructure. Meaningful change. A model that can travel across cities.

We are proud of our Hand in Hand team for coming up with an innovative and timely solution!
