The organization started operations in Kenya in October 2010 and is currently operating in 22 Field offices within 27 out of 47 Counties in Kenya.

Hand in Hand Eastern Africa –Tanzania (HiH EA-TZ) began operations in January 2018 and is currently operating in two field locations in northern Tanzania. So far, HiH EA-TZ has mobilised over 12,000 members (83% women) who have either been trained or are still under training, and who have created over 8,850 enterprises and over 12,490 jobs. Hand in Hand International is a registered NGO in the UK which provides fundraising, programmes and technical support to its Hand in Hand network partners in Eastern Africa, as well as in Zimbabwe, India and Afghanistan. Hand in Hand Sweden is our global network partner that provides technical, financial support to its networks in Kenya and India.

The organization works with marginalized communities in the areas of economic and social empowerment using a participatory approach aimed at helping people fight poverty and vulnerability. The Hand in Hand enterprise and job creation approach is based on a philosophy of self-help, providing training, skills and support to enable people living in poverty, particularly women, to build and sustain independent, market-based, economic activities. This provides for a higher level of income for them and their families, which in turn contributes to greater food security, better education for children, increased access to healthcare, improved housing and overall improved livelihoods.
