Helping Hands Inc. a U.S. – based non-profit organization is seeking support for the construction and development of community/charity centers around the world for homeless, orphaned and neglected children. Helping Hands is dedicated to providing food, shelter, clothing, health care and education to the homeless and orphaned children of the world's most destitute countries.
Presently eight countries have been selected for the purpose of building the centers. The first Helping Hands centers will be built in Sri Lanka and India . The center at Sri Lanka will be built in Kurunegala while two will be constructed in India - one at Wardha, Maharashtra. (Land donated by Ambedkar Buddhist Society in Maharashtra) and the other at Modoor, Andhra Pradesh. These centers will accommodate over 400 destitute children.
The Sri Lanka Center (Shree Padamashanthi Nivasaya) will accommodate over 100 children by the end of 2008. Helping hands mission also aims to care for homeless children in Brazil, Ethiopia, Mexico, Thailand and South Africa.
The centers will take the destitute and, homeless children off the streets and provide them with necessary care and opportunities for a better life.

Foundation in Garland, Texas - is confident that they can reach this goal with proper guidance and the provision of much needed food, clothing, shelter, a basic education, medical assistance, and emotional care for the children.
