We work to close the distance between good healthcare and the people who need it most. We provide free health screening, mobile outreach and wellness centers, and we teach communities about nutrition, hygiene, prevention and mental wellbeing. We also support orphaned children with school fees and meals, and widows with practical help. We work in the United Kingdom and overseas.
