At its inception in 2008, the Global Hand Charity (GHC) mission was to help improve the educational opportunities for children living in remote villages of Asia. However, it became apparent that these children were not only lacking an education but were in desperate need of primary necessities such as clean drinking water and quality sanitation.For the educational program to be successful, the Global Hand committee had to adjust their mission. The charity began fundraising to build wells, toilets and showers near to where the children will be attending school to ensure a healthy and safe learning environment.After many years spent in the remote villages of Laos and Vietnam, Global Hand Charity identified a vital need that was missing from these communities. Remote villages have very little or no access to doctors or hospitals which often means treatable infections can lead to fatalities. As a result, GHC begun funding community nurses and running free medical clinics.In 2017, Global Hand Charity commenced the first ever Eye Care Project in Sri Lanka. Due to the resounding success in Sri Lanka, GHC expanded to Cambodia and is already making a dramatic impact on the lives of underprivileged people living in these remote villages.
