Given our care and dedication to supporting the communities in need, a Non-governmental Organization approached the Hands 4 Zero Poverty (H4ZP) team to request assistance. A single mother of three children was discovered living in the streets in dire need of help. The Non-governmental Organization needed an organization to temporarily care for the children while it provided the mother the skills required for her to stand on her own. Hands 4 Zero Poverty immediately took action by creating a temporary child care center to provide care for three children (Mini, Tanu, and Raj). Hands 4 Zero Poverty started the Little Hearts care center to provide these children with a warm and loving environment. Mini, Tanu, and Raj have since returned to the care of their mother after she successfully completed her training.

It is not costly to assist a family in need. Projects such as this can have a significant positive impact on someone's life. At Hands 4 Zero Poverty, we will continue to seek and provide opportunities to people in need; however, we cannot successfully do this alone. We need support from our donors to continue funding these projects. If you are interested in the establishing-or supporting-a care center, contact us at info@h4zp.org.
