Support CharityHand from anywhere in the world
Wherever you live, your support reaches the same place: programme work planned with local partners and reported back openly. Here is who we are, what we do, and the ways you can help from your country.
Who we are
A small organisation working through local partners
CharityHand is based in Manchester, United Kingdom, and works alongside community organisations who hold the relationship with the families they serve. We fund, plan and report; they deliver.
- Who is CharityHand?
- CharityHand is a UK-registered organisation based in Manchester working with communities across Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Supporting vulnerable children, families and communities across Africa and Asia through education, healthcare, nutrition, clean water, livelihoods and sustainable development.
- What problems do we address?
- Children out of school, families without access to healthcare or safe water, undernutrition, households without a reliable income, and displaced people who need health information, protection and a route back to work.
- How are donations used?
- Gifts fund the programme area you choose, or are allocated across programme areas by current need. Delivery is planned with local partner organisations who lead the work on the ground, and spending is accounted for in our published reporting.
- Can I give from outside the UK?
- Yes. The payment page accepts international cards and shows the amount and currency available to you before you confirm. Donors in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, Europe and Asia all give this way.
What we do

Every gift is directed to one of the programme areas below, or to where need is greatest.
