In addition to their works in health care and saving history, Freemasons provide 'helping hands' in many, many other ways. Scholarships are probably the most common and we've mentioned just a very few of them on a separate page.
Masons also provide 'Helping Hands' in a non-monetary way.
Out of misery comes charity in Africa From the magazine 'Freemasonry Today', we learn that District Grand Master of East Africa, Bro. JK Chande has announced the Masons will assist children of the bread-winners who died in the embassy bomb explosions which took place on 7 August 1998. For this purpose, District Grand Charity has established a fund with an initial contribution of 1.7 million Kenyan shillings. Freemasons will use this fund to provide education and preparation for life for the children of the diseased. In cases of eye, ear and facial injuries, treatment could be considered in Kenya using the services of specialists who are brethren.
