Kopan Helping Hands Helping Families in Need |
Kopan Helping Hands focuses in supporting remote villages where people are very poor and in great need of support, quite often old, with nobody to take care of them.Their chances of getting help are slim. A lot of those villages are inaccessible in monsoon, and even in the dry season, the villages are not easy to reach: transport might be by mules or pack horses, or it might involve a long way to the closest road where trucks can deliver the goods to. For the villagers, it takes sheer hard physically work to get the food to their actual homes. With your help Kopan will continue with its food deliveries to these areas where the need is great.
As part of the Helping Hand Project, Kopan is also assisting individuals with disabilites and special needs. Please find three stories below.
