Part of the success of First-Hand Aid is the great word of mouth our travelers have passed on to others. To many volunteers only one trip has ignited a new passion for giving to those that need the most in Havana, Cuba. With today’s social media and excellent smart phone cameras everyone is able to capture great moments and we want you to share them with us! A picture is worth a thousand words so please give us a hand by sharing those special moments.

Current conditions in Cuba are far more difficult than ever before. Cuba has lost international support resulting in limited or no resources to generate electricity, provide transportation, food or basic medical supplies.
We will continue to provide meals, family support, and medical supplies with our current partners but we believe it is time to take the Next Step!
