Health Help International aims to improve the welfare of the less fortunate in our world
Providing help to both individuals and communities, our work is currently focussed in India and Zambia. Our projects are wide ranging, concentrating on health and education – from supplying infrastructure for hospitals and clinics to supplying medical aid to individuals. Schools and training centres are supported across these areas for both adults and children who have disabilities.
Our work in the UK is undertaken by a small number of volunteers, who give their time, energy and resources to HHI’s work. This ensures all the money that is contributed by our supporters is spent on our overseas projects .
The severe drought in Zambia and consequent famine is ongoing and HHZ are very proud to report that the feeding programmes continue to help. We continue to pray for the rains in Zambia, which have begun but remain insufficient to alleviate suffering and for crops to be planted.
In India, following the recent monsoons similar needs have arisen and our partners in Kerala are helping to feed those so affected.
Our projects are only possible through your regular prayer and financial support.
A VERY BIG THANK YOU!
A very happy Christmas
and a peaceful and blessed New Year to all our supporters.

WHERE WE OPERATE
EVERY GOOD DAY STARTS WITH A GOOD BREAKFAST
Our humble beginnings started with an extraordinary event. In 1997, a postman delivered a parcel – an All Bran box containing £12,025 in cash! Along with a cryptic note saying “For church, for chapel, for Newport, for India.” Our founder, Ron Prosser, checked that the money was legit and began distributing it as instructed.
Over 25 years later, we are committed to our ethos of running entirely with volunteer labour in the UK, ensuring we maximise the money that is sent out to support our work overseas. All projects are suggested by local people, and are carried out in co-operation with them. Some we have started from scratch, others have been started by our overseas partners and we have come on board later, providing financial assistance and other help so as to help them continue, run better and expand.
