About Us
We work with local nonprofits to provide first night bags, toiletries, kitchen kits, school supplies and other requested items to children in need.
We started our nonprofit in 2018 after a school assignment showed us how much help foster children needed in North Carolina. As brothers, we realized we can have an impact and make a difference in our own way.
​
Since then, we have worked together with our generous donors, volunteers and organizations in North Carolina to help in any way we can.

Co-Founder, President
Hello! I'm Aarav Prakash, one of the co-founders and the president of Handle with Care for Kids. I'm a senior at Durham Academy. I started this organization with my brother, who got the idea to help those in need from a seventh grade project and took over when he left for college. I am truly privileged to be able to help others and provide a space for others like me to be able to help. Outside of Handle with Care, I love horseback riding and robotics.
