The Hands and Feet Project
The Hands & Feet Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which exists to "raise a generation of orphans who will grow into men and women who will have a relationship with Christ and be leaders in their communities." It began as a Children's Village located near Jacmel, Haiti. The Project has acquired land in Grand-Goáve and is in the early stages of building a second village, and is also renting a house in Port-au-Prince as a potential third location.
==Origins==
The Hands and Feet Project was started by Christian rock band Audio Adrenaline in 2004. The name is based on the Audio Adrenaline song "Hands and Feet" (from the 1999 album ''Underdog''). The idea for the Project was also inspired by the 2003 Audio Adrenaline album ''Worldwide'', in which the band called for their listeners to "go and be" and get their hands "dirty". Frontman Mark Stuart stated: "We came to the point where we want to really step up and not just give a tip of the hat to missions and financially support them. We wanted to really embrace it and put our money where our mouth is. It is important for us to be hands and feet... We started the project to provide a place for orphaned children in Haiti to receive a roof over their heads and plenty of food as well as to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as their savior. It's also a place where people from the States can come and see what it is to serve and be the hands and feet of Jesus to the people of Haiti."
The Project is based on the Biblical teachings of James 1:27 -- "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress."
