What HANDS Means
HANDS Canada measures progress not only by what is built, but by the opportunities created around it: more children able to attend school, more grades available close to home and a stronger environment for learning, faith and community life.
Growth Beyond Enrolment
Student numbers tell only part of the story. HANDS Canada has also contributed to the systems and resources that support everyday school life:
1. Water for school use.
2. Electrical power for a functioning learning environment.
3. Laptops and digital learning resources.
4. Restroom facilities that support health and dignity.
5. Breakfast porridge three days each week, as recorded in the brochure.
6. Funding for school events, ceremonies and community-building activities.
