Help us change someone’s WORLD!

Many of us have been fortunate to enjoy a safe and comfortable upbringing, living in countries with freedom and security. However, we recognize that not everyone is as lucky. That’s why we believe in the importance of giving back to the community and paying it forward.

At Amadeus, solidarity is at the heart of our philosophy, both as a corporation and as a global community. Helping Hands is a shining example of this spirit. Since its launch in 2002 by Amadeus employees, Helping Hands has supported humanitarian projects in education, health, basic needs, and technology, both in France and abroad.

How we work

Helping Hands thrives on the dedication of its volunteers. Over 50 people are actively involved, with hundreds of followers and supporters who enjoy making a difference while having fun!

Our project initiatives are funded through the generous financial support of Amadeus, donations, and fundraising events such as afterwork karaoke and talent shows, raffles, second-hand furniture, toys and baby clothes sales, and the many bake sales throughout the year. The money raised is the distributed amongst the projects we support.to 12 projects in France and abroad. Click here to learn more about the projects we support .
