We bring hands together to change your community
Dame una mano brings together people who want to help with what their neighborhood needs. Someone proposes a day of work, the community joins in and together they make it happen.
- Always free
- No money involved
- In any city in the world
Three moments, one community
1. Someone proposes
A person creates an event in a few minutes: what you'll do, where, when and how many hands it needs.
2. The community joins
People find it nearby or with its code and join with their name and email. We remind them before the day.
3. Together, they do it
They meet, they work and the organizer confirms who came. Every hand gets its medal.
What you take home when you lend a hand
Medals with a name
Every event you show up to gives you a medal with its name. Download it and share it.
Levels people notice
You go from “First hand” to “Heart of the community”. If you organize, your photo lights up with flames, a glow and the blue badge.
A spot on the podium
The people who organize and close the most events appear on the community podium and ranking.
Neighbors who become family
You meet the people who live nearby, work by their side and see the change with your own eyes.
A shared event reaches more hands
Every event comes with everything you need to invite people:
- A 6 digit codeEasy to say out loud or to type in your neighborhood group chat.
- A link that looks goodPasted on WhatsApp or social media, it shows the title, the date and the place.
- A social media kitImages ready for stories, posts and statuses, with the title, the date, the code and the organizer's name.
Imagine what we can do together
Every event is small. Repeated in neighborhoods all over the world, it changes lives.
If every person invites 2 more
In 5 rounds of invitations, 1 person becomes 243 hands.
A 3 hour event with 15 people
45 hours
of work for your neighborhood. If 1,000 neighborhoods around the world do one a month, that's 540,000 hours a year.
These are numbers to imagine with, not platform data.

Quick questions
Do I need an account to join?
No. Your name and your email are enough. If you create a password later, you can write in the chats and keep your medals.
Which emails will I get?
The confirmation with the date for your calendar, reminders one week, three days and two hours before, and a notice if the event changes or is cancelled. If you don't see them, check spam or promotions.
What if I can't go anymore?
Leave the event from its page or with the “I can't go anymore” button in the emails. That frees your spot for someone else.
What do I need to organize?
An account with your email confirmed and a profile photo, so people know who's waiting for them. Event photos are optional: you can add them later.
How do I report something?
On the event's page tap “Report”, choose the reason and tell us what happened. If it's urgent, write to hola@dameunamano.org. If someone is in danger, call your country's emergency line.
Shall we lend your neighborhood a hand?
