Health Help International

We are a good sized charity - big enough to be effective, but small enough to care about the individuals that we help.  We were established in 1999, initially working in the north of Zambia in the village of Mpongwe, where we provided two doctors and medicines to a medical centre that had neither.  We later added a maternity unit.  Since then most of our work in Zambia has been in the south-west, around the town of Monze on the main road between the capital Lusaka and the border town of Livingstone, where we have set up a community school (Muumba),

 renovated a disabled school unit (Nanga), 

provide school fees for many disabled children, provide the costs of medical treatment such as transport, empower the disabled

and are currently feeding 100 families where the wage earner is unable to work or has died and there are disabled children in the family.

In India most of our work is in the south of the country, in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where we run two special needs centres 

and a home for destitute women.  

We support a number of people who are disabled or long term invalids, and provide the costs of medication, medical treatment and operations for as many people as we can.  These include fracture repairs, 

fibroids and heart problems, as well as immunosuppressant drugs for kidney transplant patients and dialysis for kidney failure patients who are awaiting an operation.  We are also feeding well over 100 families where the wage earner has died of covid or lost their job as a result of the pandemic, and training women in marketable craft skills and tailoring, 

as well as providing chickens, goats or cows to enable the families to support themselves.  

Finally in Orissa we are running monthly medical camps in support of people who have had to flee from religious persecution.
