a brief overview of HHI
A Legacy of God's Faithfulness
Helping Hands International, Inc. is a non-denominational Christian non-profit whose mission is to share the love of God by bringing help and hope to hurting people through practical hands-on care! We were established in 2005 by Ron & Leslie Ashpole, after decades of serving in local Christian ministries, and accomplish our mission each year by sending out small groups of Volunteers to minister to the needs of underserved rural communities around the globe. Many of our projects focus on alleviating food insecurities, providing shelter, medical assistance, clean water, and Disaster Relief. However, we also have a Child Sponsorship and Scholarship program which serves over 200 students on a monthly basis and currently feeds over 1,600 each Saturday in Kenya. This History page is dedicated to highlighting God's faithfulness over the years and sharing what He is continuing to do through our Volunteers, Projects and Programs!
