OUR MISSION
ABOUT US
WE PROVIDE WORLDWIDE CHARITY SERVICE SINCE 2021
My name is Disha Varkala and I am passionate about fostering growth and self-sufficiency in rural communities through the growth of small businesses. With a strong passion for business, I have seen firsthand the power of entrepreneurship, which is why I started Hand a Chance. Because of my love for debate developed through Model UN and JSA (Junior State of America), through our local debate competitions, I aim to use the power of fundraising to support small businesses in Hyderabad, India, and Western Cape, Africa.

Our goal is to foster economic independence and community development, transforming lives through entrepreneurship and innovation.
We partner with local organizations, like RICE ATM in Hyderabad, India, to ensure our initiatives are culturally relevant and impactful.
