Description

Helping Hands of Wounded Knee, encompasses the entire Pine Ridge Reservation. We provide schools with items teachers need that their budgets won't allow them to purchase, every year we supply a growing number of kids with all the school supplies they need. The reservation is very large and we know that we can't fix all the problems here so we focus on helping the children to be and feel equal to their non-native counterparts by providing them with items and opportunities that the rest of the nation has: decent food, shelter, heat, water and clothes. We help the elders have a easier daily life by providing them things that most of the nation would take for granted, things like washers and dryers, microwaves, heat, and food. We have an elders sponsor program that not only gives the elders another resource for help but also helps the sponsors by dispelling many of the myths that America has about the Native Americans.
