Introducing our latest project: Hands On Magdalena Medio

Our latest Hands On project is in the Magdalena Medio region in Colombia, South America. 

Sign up to Hands On Magdalena Medio, and over the next three years you will follow this community as they transform their lives, through peace building activities. You’ll receive regular project updates from Colombia, so you’ll always see how your regular gifts are making a difference.

The project will begin by running peace building workshops in 34 schools, teaching young people how to avoid a life of violence. They will be taught how to share all they have learnt with their families and neighbours. Together, with your help, we aim to reach 5,000 people in total.

How Hands On works

Our Hands On programme supports communities as they undertake a three year project, and lets you follow their progress. Your donations directly fund the work, and you'll receive regular updates on how things are progressing. Because they will directly fund the work, your regular gifts are essential to make these projects a success.

Hands On in your Parish

If you’d like to support Hands On as a parish – sign up today - to get your welcome pack.

What next?

As soon as you get hands on you’ll receive a welcome folder with information about the people and the project.

Previous Hands On Successes

We have seen incredible success in Bolivia, Doutchi, and Kitui. Which is all thanks to generous supporters who got hands on, supporting these communities through monthly donations, messages of encouragement and friendship, and the motivation to keep going.

  • Project one: Hands On Kitui

    Thanks to regular donations from generous supporters the people of Kitui in Kenya have achieved so much, including building 4 wells, check dams, planted more than 10,000 trees and more. 

  • Project two: Hands On Doutchi

    Through Hands On, the people of Doutchi have learnt how to live, and grow food for their families in one of the driest areas on the edge of the Sahara.

  • Project three: Hands On Altiplano

    Hands On Altiplano has helped farmers irrigate their dry fields, learn new farming techniques, and build protective greenhouses to grow a variety of crops.
