The Children's Healing Initiative

HandReach is working to provide education for world-class medical and reconstructive care for children suffering from major burn trauma injuries. We are networking hospitals around the world via telemedicine, training programs, and joint clinics to bring state-of-the-art reconstructive surgery, prosthetics, equipment, physical and occupational therapy, and psychosocial therapy to pediatric trauma survivors at no cost to them or their families. Our goal is to improve the quality of these children's lives and help them realize their potential as fully participating members of society.

Education Fund

Since 2002, HandReach has been offering $200 education grants to improve schools and help students to gain access to quality education. Qualified applicants must verify that they will deliver 100% of the funds to the intended target school or students. Follow-up reports can be delivered in the form of photos, letters, or expense receipts. Past HandReach applicants include students or professionals currently studying or working in the U.S. who have strong ties to the schools targeted to receive funding.

Sichuan Hope Project

Many schools and children's lives were devastated by the Sichuan earthquake of May 12, 2008. We are working to reconstruct schools and bring world-class prosthetics and physical therapy to the young survivors so they may recover and prosper.
