Healing Hands International (HHI) — Organization Profile
Healing Hands International (HHI) is a Christian humanitarian relief and development organization whose stated mission is to aid, equip, and empower those in need around the world in the name of Jesus Christ so they might experience God’s healing grace. HHI describes its work as meeting practical needs while partnering with local leaders and churches so communities can move toward long-term resilience rather than short-term fixes.
HHI is based in Nashville, Tennessee, with programs and partnerships that extend around the world. The organization’s model centers on equipping people closest to the need—local community and church leaders—with tools, training, and resources that can be sustained and multiplied within their own context.
HHI carries out its mission through five primary program areas. Clean Water focuses on providing access to safe drinking water through wells and filtration systems. Hunger to Harvest equips communities to fight hunger through basic gardening and sustainable agricultural techniques, often delivered through workshops and hands-on training. Women of Hope supports women through education, small business training, savings group facilitation, and microfinance so women can strengthen their families and communities. The MAGI Project provides gift boxes intended to meet tangible needs of children living in poverty while opening relational opportunities to share Jesus with families and communities. Disaster Response provides relief after tragedy and supports recovery through efforts such as rebuilding, distribution of supplies, and other resilience-focused projects.
Because volunteer participation is woven into how several programs function, HHI offers multiple ways for individuals and churches to engage. Supporters can donate to specific program areas (water, hunger, women’s empowerment, MAGI, or disaster response), participate in events like Walk4Water, and help pack or coordinate MAGI boxes. The organization also shares updates and stories to help partners understand where support is being directed and how programs are implemented.
For those exploring deeper involvement, HHI provides pathways to volunteer, give, and learn through its program pages, stories, and communications. Whether someone’s next step is praying, hosting an event, supplying a kit, sponsoring a project, or contributing financially, HHI frames engagement as joining a practical, on-the-ground effort to serve communities in Christ’s name.
