About us:
It was the year 2014, in the month of March; a hope shattered deprived family was
desperately seeking support to get their daughter married and made an appeal to one
of our founding members, who then answered their call by appealing to the group of
friends who stood together taking up financial expenses of the needy family in getting
their daughter married. Later, the united group of friends came up with the idea to
zealously support poverty-stricken people as helping hands and supported many
underprivileged families to get their daughters married.

By the end of the year 2015, fuelled with passion to bring the change, they came forth
with ‘Ration for All’ flagship program to the feed the hungry and a much-needed ‘Imam
Muezzin Program’ to support the humble yet necessitous personalities.
It was decided in the year 2017 to setup and start a Non-Governmental Organization
(NGO) and FOUNDATION OF HELPING HANDS (FHH) was registered as a Non-
Governmental Organization (NGO) which is a public trust, under section 18 of the
Bombay Trust Act, 1950 under the aegis of Charity Commissioner, Mumbai.

Our programs:
• Ration for All Program
Under this program, extremely poverty-stricken families are provided with
household grocery /Ration supplies every month. So far, twenty-five (25) families
have identified after completing the survey and thorough verification process.
These families include mostly, widows with orphaned children, specially challenged
(disabled) and elderly who is earning a meager income and are unable to meet their
daily expenses.

• Widow Care Program

We all knows very well that taking care of yateem (Orphan) or widow are very good deed. Our six
generous members have adopted six widow Families and donated Rs. 42,000/Year (Rs.
3500/Month) for one family. We are assisting the widow families with Rs. 3500/- every month for
their daily needs and life.

• Imam Muezzin Program

Most of us are aware about how low Imams and muezzins are salaried, especially in the
rural and village areas, where they are earning just between 3,000 and 4,000 rupees
monthly. The purpose of this program is to find Imam and Muezzin of mosques in those
remote areas and support them for teaching basics of Islam and Quran to the Children of
under-privileged families. As of now, under this program, seventy (70) Children are taught
by three (03) Imams’, for which they get paid 14,000 rupees monthly as tuition fees.

• Eye Care Program

India has highest number blind population in the world and about 75% of these cases are
avoidable, if proper care is taken on time. Individuals with vision impairment are more likely
to experience restrictions in their independence, mobility, and educational achievement,
as well as an increased risk of falls, fractures, injuries, poor mental health, cognitive deficits,
and social isolation.

Driven by r ight-to-sight mission, our Eye care program was started in the 2017, at
the very start of our NGO and regular bi-weekly OPD is conducted by a team of
specialists Optometrist which is held at Kurla and Govandi, Mumbai. Regular Eye
Camps are also conducted at Schools and Madrasas. We would provide free sight-
glasses to the under-privileged individuals and students who cannot afford to buy
the glasses and highly discounted sight- glasses to those who can afford. If anyone
of the patients requires further treatment and surgeries, we will refer them to the
hospitals, where they will get free treatment and surgeries.

• Ramadan program
Our mission to help those who need it the most becomes even more important during the
Holy month of Ramadan when countless Muslims, families, and communities struggle to
survive through this period of worship. As our duty, we give hope and dignity when it is
most desperately required.

Our Ramadan family package includes a range of essential items to help families enjoy
nutritious Sahoor and iftar meals, focusing on people who need the most support. Our
package for a family includes necessary ingredients and supplies such as oil, rice, wheat,
salt, pulses, dates and more. The size of the package varies from family to family depending
on the number of members in the family. Under this program, about 50 families in the year
2018 and 53 families in the year 2019 got the support. In the year 2020, more than 300
families were supported generously.

• Student Scholarship Program

This program was started in the year 2018. Under this program, students who, although
financially constrained, showed great promise and interest in studies will be eligible for
financial help. Students from primary school to professional higher educational programs
interested in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medical
Sciences would be eligible for Scholarship based on Merit. The identification of students
will be made by physical visits to the student's home by our team assessing the needs and
ensuring only deserving applicants receives the help. The identification of the deserving
students is based on academic merit and financial standing. After verifying their eligibility
and fees, etc. the scholarship fee will be deposited directly into the respective educational
institution, bank account and a separate cheque will be handed over for uniforms, books,
transportation, and other fees. The same students are helped till they finish their
graduation, provided they pass the final exam every year with at least 60 percent marks.

The program has a well-structured monitoring and reporting procedure in place. The
progress of each student will be closely monitored throughout the support period. The
contact details of students along with their profiles will be provided to donors as per the
request.

• Appeal-based programs

Our appeal based programs seeks to support the needy based on quick and urgent
requirements like paying Medical bills, Marriage expenses for daughters of down-trodden
families, payment of School or College fees, etc., Once we receive the appeals, they are
quickly scrutinized by our team based on the IDENTIFY & VERIFY concept to make sure

• Special Emergency COVID – 19 Lockdown Support program

We were deeply concerned that this pandemic will lead to a perfect storm of hunger,
disease and death unless strong actions are taken to make sure vulnerable families and
their children have enough to eat, especially those in remote areas and the urban poor. We
understood the ground reality, that the biggest impact of the pandemic will not be the virus
itself, but the hunger caused by nationwide lockdown measures and a breakdown in supply
lines.

Our team quickly geared into action and rapidly distributed food supplies to some of the
most vulnerable communities, including children, pregnant women, the elderly,
malnourished, and those who are sick. Till now, we have supported more than one
thousand (1000+) families covering more than eleven (11+) areas in Mumbai city and
suburbs like Kurla, Govandi, Bandra, Behrampada, Mankhurd, Mandala, Byculla, Wadala,
Mumbra, Kalwa, Nalasopara, and many more slum areas.

Future planned program:

• Self-Sufficiency Program
The Self-Sufficiency programs seek to help participants make measurable progress toward
economic security and financial stability, so that they would no longer need support from
welfare programs and are less dependent on the financial help and are better able to meet
the goals they set out for themselves and plan for the future.

There are two key features to the Self-sufficiency Program:

1. A financial incentive for participants to increase their earnings and build savings that
they can use to improve their quality of life and advance their personal goals

2. Training to help families access services they may need to overcome barriers to
employment, strengthen their financial ability, and address other challenges holding
them back from achieving their goals.
