Hand an Hand, also known as Hand an Hand, Kanner, Elteren, Drëtt Welt, is a Luxembourg association founded in 1986 that supports vulnerable people around the world. It works through local partners and largely volunteer-run structures, funding projects in education, health and economic development. Its activities include financing schools and vocational training in Burkina Faso, supporting residential and care centres for children and elderly people in Brazil, and funding a socio-cultural training centre in Mozambique. The association is financed mainly by individual donations, which can be made by bank transfer, card or as a solidarity gift, and donations are tax-deductible in Luxembourg. It states that administrative costs are kept very low and that local partners help adapt projects to community needs and ensure long-term autonomy. Its children's theatre group, Dausendbengchen, donates its performance proceeds to the association.
