Link Hands for Humanity is a 3rd generation non-profit that is dedicated to humanitarian values and ethical service. Originally formed by Deva Lewis in 1976, the organization is now guided by her daughter, Nura Loeks. Drawing upon an appreciation of indigenous wisdom, respect for the ability of leaders to impact communities, and desire for all populations to receive the benefits of modern medicine, Nura established the priorities for Link hands. Ecology, medicine, and education bring these values together.
