About Us - Hands and Feet Project

Fighting for the cause of vulnerable children

Hands & Feet Project was imagined by Audio Adrenaline Worldwide Tour

Hands & Feet Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Nashville, TN. What started as a single children’s village near Jacmel, Haiti in 2004 has flourished into a movement serving families and communities across multiple regions of the country.

Our mission is to embody the hands and feet of Christ—championing vulnerable children, empowering families, and uplifting entire communities.

OUR CORE VALUES:

The foundation of our organization is built upon four unwavering core values:

Love: We care deeply for one another, serving with humility, purpose, and wholehearted compassion. (Philippians 2:3-4)

Honesty: We live authentically—grounded in truth, transparency, and integrity before God, one another, and ourselves. (Ephesians 4:15)

Obedience: We answer God’s call with courage, determination, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. (Hebrews 13:20-21 & Colossians 3:23)

Responsibility: We are faithful stewards of every resource entrusted to us, honoring each person’s time, talent, treasure, and testimony. (1 Peter 4:10)

Because of our efforts, vulnerable children will flourish in their God-given potential, families in crisis will stand united and resilient, and entire communities will experience God’s peace and wholeness.
