We can’t help everybody but we can help some, and we do it!
LittleBigHelp India Trust is a registered Trust since 2012 working to create better opportunities for the most vulnerable section of people living in West Bengal. We currently work in three districts – Kolkata, Howrah and South 24 Parganas.

The projects include Skills Development, Girls’ and Boys’ Hostel, Community Centers in urban slums, Mental health care, adolescent health and integrated agricultural development in rural villages.
LittleBigHelp is working to bring changes to ensure child rights- specially Right to Education and protection for the most vulnerable children. We also provide supplementary nutrition, health care support, life skills, computer and vocational training, regular counselling and guidance for a secured and better future. Young men and women from marginalized communities specially living in urban slums are supported with skills development trainings free of cost, employability skills and also given business start-up support for economic and social upliftment. We promote mental health support in all the different projects regularly through professional counsellors. 5 Backward villages in Basanti Block of South 24 Parganas are selected for securing livelihoods through integrated agricultural developments. The beneficiary families are from marginalized backgrounds having irregular and meagre income levels.

LittleBigHelp India Trust is the Indian entity of LittleBigHelp Denmark founded by Lisbeth Johansen. Giving up a career as a hotel Sales Director, Lisbeth decided to pursue her dream of helping people in India who do not enjoy the same human rights or have access to health care, protection, and learning opportunities as in developed countries. In 2012, LittleBigHelp was registered in India. It works to create better opportunities for the most vulnerable children, women and communities in urban slums and rural villages of West Bengal. Through 24 different projects it focuses on addressing education, protection, adolescent health, mental health, skills and livelihood development. It reaches directly to more than 2000 individuals and over 11,000 individuals indirectly in 12urban slums and 5 rural villages.
LittleBigHelp has established 12 community Centers in urban slums of Kolkata and Howrah, a Boys’ and a Girls’ hostel, Adolescent Health, several Skill Development projects for youth, women and men, Tuitions and Computer courses for youth, Counselling and Play Therapy sessions and Livelihood projects in rural villages. There are nearly 90 team members in India working in the different projects.
It's focus has shifted over the years from mainly responding to the direct consequences of poverty to focusing on sustainable preventative work. Working from the belief that empowering individuals will help break the cycle of poverty, we give people the support, skills, and tools they need to create a brighter future for themselves, their family, and their community. It is our belief that the benefits will ripple down generations and have a lasting impact.
