My Nonprofit Reviews

The Community Health Worker model that HealthEd Connect has put to work in communities across Africa and Asia is central in giving members of these communities a voice, especially the families and children with special needs. A Community Health Worker is a trained local volunteer on the ground in the community who assists with primary health care needs, works as a traditional birth attendant and/or provides home based care to those who are ill. HealthEd Connect empowers these local volunteers not only by providing health education skills but by asking them to use their experiences in the community to be agents of change.

The leadership at HealthEd Connect is passionate about seeing these communities succeed and because the organization is volunteer run, a large amount of funds go directly to supporting programs in country. As someone who has worked with the organization over the last couple of years, I am a huge advocate of this sustainable model and life changing mission.
