Striving For Generational Change

The Need

A global aging crisis. People aged 60 and over account for more than one billion of the world’s population; this age group is expected to double by 2050.

The Need

70 percent of the world’s older population lives in economically developing countries where there is a lack of focus and resources to address the needs of this vulnerable population.

The Mission

Hands 4Life pairs orphaned children with orphaned older adults to create a beautiful new family. Respect, purpose, and dignity are felt.

The Mission

The circle of life is realized through intergenerational homes, community outreach, and education in economically developing countries.

The Vision

We envision a world where there are no orphans. A world where two generations care for each other at all times.

The Vision

The elderly are honored and cared for by the younger generation, while the youth learn from and are inspired by their wise elders.

WHAT do we do?

We care for people from womb to tomb. By bringing together two generations, the circle of life is complete.

WHO do we serve?

We serve both the elderly and children who have no family who can care for them. We bring together orphans, both young and old, to form a unique new family under one roof.

Meet Our Seniors

Rights do not change as we age, but sadly what changes are older individuals being considered inherently less valuable to society.

Meet Our Children

There are 132 million orphaned children in developing nations*. Many orphaned children are susceptible to human trafficking and gang initiation.

WHY do we do it?

There is no missionary organization whose primary focus is caring for the elders through intergenerational relationship building. We transform lives by establishing physical, social, spiritual, and economic infrastructure for both the young and aging.

As both the percentage of older individuals and the length of life increases worldwide, the concerns are numberous. Focusing on one community at a time, Hands 4Life will help restore and protect this vulnerable population.

WHERE do we work?

Hands 4Life works on a global vision of equipping, educating, and empowering communities to care for each other. We’re currently developing our prototype intergenerational campus in Nigeria, where we’re focused not on building structures, but on creating a campus that can inspire change across the country. By training nationals to care for their own from womb to tomb, we provide resources and knowledge that strengthen families and communities. Our goal is to establish one Hands 4Life campus in every developing nation, where the values of compassion, self-sufficiency, and intergenerational support can thrive and multiply.
