Alternative Gifting
An ideal way of giving a gift whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, Christmas or any other special event.
If you wish, we will send you cards to give to the person whose anniversary or Christmas you are celebrating, which say how your gift will be used. You can always use it to simply make a donation – enabling you to specify how your gift will be used.
Buy Cards & Books
Monies are raised from the sale of Painted Leaf Cards. These are painted by lower caste women of Kerala providing much needed income to help them raise their families. Help us to support these women by purchasing some of these unique cards.
A range of books are also available on the Strathaven Friends of HHI site.
Other ways to DONATE
By Phone:
We can also take the details over the phone (please ring 01633 671055) or via email. If you phone and there is no-one there, please leave a message and we will call you back.
Regular Giving:
Standing orders and Gift Aid: It helps our budgeting if people agree to a regular standing order; if you are a UK tax payer you can also gift aid your donation. This increases your gift by 25%, given by HMRC.
One off donations:
If you wish to make a donation using a cheque please make it payable to ‘HHI’ or ‘Health Help International’.
Gift Aid enables you to increase the value of your gift by 25% at no cost to yourself, providing you pay more tax than the gift aid recovered. And if you are lucky enough to be in one of the higher (40% plus) tax brackets you will even reduce your own tax bill!

Other ways to help
Are you an occupational therapist, a physiotherapist, a speech therapist or something similar? Or are you training to be one? Would you like to put your skills to good use in India?
We support two special needs schools – one in Kerala and the other in Tamil Nadu. We also support Thanal House, a home for destitute women with serious psychological problems. In the past, student occupational therapists have gone out to our centre in Tamil Nadu, and have had a great time, helping the children as well as communicating best practice to the staff, and they have even learned some tricks from Indian traditional medicine (ayurveda)!
You would need to provide your own ticket to Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram) airport, but once you have arrived our partners in India can meet you at the airport and take you to one of the centres. We can provide accommodation – it’s pretty basic, but that’s part of the adventure! Living in India is cheap. Contact our office for more information.
