Our Domains

Arts & Culture

For Helm, art is a medium of expression to capture, reflect, challenge, and inspire each other. Art is political, it is a medium to stimulate thought, inspire human behaviour and bring people together.

Human Resource Development

We work with individuals and groups to build competencies for enhancing leadership skills and increasing efficacy.

Holistic Living

We work towards creating harmony between individuals, communities and the ecosystem. Our hope is at an individual level for a balanced sense of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Design & Technology

We, along with the use of data and stakeholder insights, take an independent human centric approach to decision-making in the problem areas we identify.

Social Enterprise

We are dedicated to creating economic opportunities for mission driven organizations and committed individuals engaged in solving problems that affect the collective. We connect ideas to necessary resources relevant to public and private stakeholders on the values of the Triple Bottomline (People, Planet Profit).

Civic Engagement

The individual is the smallest indivisible unit of society; we believe active citizen participation alongside conscious consumerism is necessary for a system of markets, government and individuals to be equitable, effective and just.
