About Us

...this is Our Journey

 

Roger & Elle Trow are both British, from England, they have been expatriate Brits now since 1972. Roger & Elle have lived all over Nigeria, Niger Republic, Bahrain and now the UAE, and they have travelled quite extensively. 

Originally a chartered land surveyor, Roger is now engaged in management of a property in Umm Suqeim and Elle manages him! Roger is also an ordained lay minister and he is Pastor of Grace Covenant Church in Dubai.
 

They have lived in the Gulf since 1980 and witnessed many changes in the lifestyles of the residents, but the conditions under which the lowest paid workers live and work has always saddened them. In October 2006, they determined that they would  "make a difference", and from this resolve was born "HelpinghandsUAE".

Roger & Elle believe in being very much a "hands on" team and they won't leave donations with third parties but insist that the needy workers and individuals that they target should personally receive the donations of food, clothing, care packs and anything else which has been donated and someone in need requires. 

HelpinghandsUAE is not just Roger & Elle, it is in a sense the Expatriate Community reaching out to the needy in their midst: Roger & Elle say that they are just channels between the Expatriates who care and those who are in need.
