Hands Together
 United States  / Massachusetts  |  Humanitarian Aid

Hands Together is a nonprofit organization devoted to educating, inspiring and encouraging people to understand the importance of responding to the needs of the poor and disadvantaged.

Hands Together was founded by Fr. Tom Hagan after he led a group of Lafayette College students to Haiti and was compelled to repsond to the needs of the poor there. We have built free schools where there were none and give every student a daily hot meal. We have 8 campuses, including high school, as well as a free clinic and an elderly outreach and housing program. We are one of Cite Soleil's largest employers, giving decent, service-oriented jobs to hundreds of residents. Our programs outside of Port-au-Prince promote human development among the rural poor through water well digging, promoting agricultural and production, and assisting the poorest schools and clinics around the northern city of Gonaives. Hands Together provides hope to the poor living in Haiti. Our work is founded upon the Catholic teaching that recognizes the dignity of every human life and a fundamental responsibility to the poor and vulnerable.
