Hand in Hand Trainee Vacancies February 2024, Hand in Hand International is a member of the Hand in Hand Network, a global group of NGOs that has worked in 14 countries and counting. Our goal is to eradicate poverty in the communities where we work. Look at poverty differently and you’ll see grassroots entrepreneurs, full of energy and ideas. We help turn their skills and potential into jobs. They find a way up and out of poverty.
In the 1980s and ’90s, Percy Barnevik ran some of the world’s biggest companies, changing the way business was done. But it wasn’t until a trip to India in the early-2000s that he discovered his “biggest and most important project.” “I was visiting southern India and I saw this terrible abuse of child labour. I couldn’t sit by and do nothing, so I started to pay the factory owners to free them,” says Percy, now 79.

“At one point I was in mind to release 200,000 children, which becomes quite a lot of money. But I couldn’t guarantee they’d stay free. I realised then that I had to attack the root cause of the problem: poverty.” Tackling a problem as big as poverty in a country as big as India, Percy reasoned, would require an NGO committed to speed, scale and efficiency – the same principles he’d championed as a CEO. When he couldn’t find that NGO, he built it himself.
