Poor vision makes school incredibly hard, often leading to unnecessary academic struggles. HHI partnered to bring accessible eye care to an elementary school via a portable clinic. Screenings revealed many students, some in special reading programs, simply needed glasses for issues like astigmatism. As Dr. Neel Gupta observed, clear vision is a game-changer. The transformation is profound: one student’s eyes “lit up” with his new glasses, declaring, “It’s all so clear!”
Earthquake in Turkey and Syria
After the February 2023 earthquake in Turkey and Syria, we deployed medicines, supplies, and three portable medical container clinics. Two clinics in Syria, staffed by our longtime partner Multifaith Alliance, treated over 12,000 patients in the first six months. An example is 84-year-old Loria Mashat, who now gets essential care and medications for her diabetes and high blood pressure, demonstrating the profound community impact of these accessible clinics.
Tanzania and Kenya
In Tanzania and Kenya, our Access to Medicine program empowers the First Baptist Church of Morton’s vital work. They operate medical clinics and “surgical safaris,” providing care to 200 patients annually. Dr. Douglas Lehman also trains local staff, building sustainable healthcare capacity. We deliver essential resources through our Access to Medicine program, and ensure Dr. Lehman receives the exact, life-saving supplies he needs—a targeted approach he greatly values. This collaboration is making a real positive impact in the communities, especially in maternal and child health.
Nelly, a young mother in Honduras
Nelly, a young mother in Honduras, faces the daily challenges of living with epilepsy. Regular check-ups and lab tests are crucial for managing her condition. However, access to her necessary medications has been inconsistent. When not available at the hospital, these medicines are often prohibitively expensive at local pharmacies, forcing Nelly and others to make impossible choices between critical medicine or food to feed their families. Thanks to our Access to Medicine program, her hospital can provide vital medications to Nelly, and other patients like her, offering her a chance at a healthier future.
Testimonials
What this organization is doing for people in the US and all over the world is nothing short of amazing. Spending a few hours to volunteer was a great experience and I would definitely encourage everyone to find time to contribute!

I volunteer, along with others, who have a common goal. To help and support the staff as they organize then head out across the globe with hygiene kits, medicines and mobile clinics. When a request comes in for help from HHI, staff is ready and willing to help but it also takes many volunteers and donations to support this goal.

I read a lot of news every day because I want to know what is going on around me and in the world. Being aware of the many disasters and injustices can feel like a huge burden to carry. Volunteering at Heart to Heart gives me the sense that I am helping in a small way and I’m not just involved with my own stuff.

As I’m aging, I realized how blessed I’ve been in so many ways. In my younger years, I worked a lot with the homeless community. As I’m aging I wanted to still give back to my community but do it closer to my home. I volunteered at Heart to Heart with a church group and decided I liked their mission. I’m just one person, but uniting with a group like Heart to Heart I can do so much more.

I feel so privileged to be able to help anyone in need. I’ve learned so much from people who are humbled by life’s struggles. As one person told me, “we’re all just one disaster from homelessness.” Every person should volunteer at least once in their life.

I love being able to do something for others especially in a real time of need. Serving fills my cup and blesses my heart. It never ceases to amaze me that in the middle of all the tragedy, those we serve always thank us for being there.

Volunteering reminds me that healing doesn’t always come in big moments; it often shows up in simple acts of kindness, shared humanity, and showing up for people when they feel forgotten. That’s why I’m proud to serve.
