Our Services
At Holding Hands Community Network Organization (H&H), we’re dedicated to providing comprehensive support and assistance to our members in times of need. Our range of services is designed to alleviate financial stress, promote community connection, and ensure that every member feels supported and valued.
Death Relief Fund
As an Organization we do understand our community needs assistance. Death comes unannounced and neither is anyone prepared when death knocks. This is the more reason why we have to be prepared at all times. Planning for such unforeseen circumstances is giving your family peace of mind to give you the last respect needed.
Critical Health Relief Fund
Registered members will benefit from our Critical Health Relief Fund. This Fund is aimed at assisting members who are critically sick, have been diagnosed with a terminal or life threatening illness. This fund will assist in taking care of medical bills and reduce the financial burden on the member and it’s family.
Educational Support Fund
Education is a key that unlocks endless potentials. Educational Support Fund aims in assisting members or their family members achieve the educational goal. Not everyone in our communities are privileged to afford or get basic education. This fund would therefore help members have access to quality education.
Connecting the Communities
With H&H Connect the Community Initiative, members benefit from a wide range of exposure. Its objective is to bring communities together, bringing the diaspora with home based communities. With this initiative, members of different business domains, social and economic status would be able to connect with each other.
Communities serve as hubs for social interaction, networking, and building meaningful relationships. In times of crisis or emergency, communities unite to provide support, assistance, and resources to those in need, exemplifying the power of collective action. Overall, working together as a community cultivates unity, mutual support, and empowerment, fostering a stronger, more resilient society for all.
Why a Community?
Working as a community offers a myriad of benefits for each individual involved. Firstly, it provides a platform for shared resources and expertise, granting access to services and opportunities that may be otherwise out of reach individually. Beyond tangible assets, communities offer invaluable emotional support, fostering a network of solidarity and comfort during challenging times.
Moreover, communities wield collective strength, enabling them to advocate for shared interests and enact positive change. Collaboration within a community encourages innovation, learning, and skill-sharing, contributing to personal and collective growth. Being part of a community nurtures a sense of belonging and connectedness, bolstering mental and emotional well-being.
