“God sent his angels through HEAL and heard our plea… Before HEAL’s help, we had to travel over a mile to find a private place to go to the bathroom where many would sometimes be bitten by insects and snakes. With great joy we received help from the HEAL foundation to build an outhouse for our home, I now have a safe place for my daughters and family to go to the bathroom…” – Kavita

“I suffered from the lasting effects of Polio. the HEAL healthworkers found me and taught me about the government programs I qualified for. They helped me procure my disability certificate which provided me a free bus pass and access to an affordable loan. I now rent a small shop and sewing machine and am now earning a respectable amount to support myself and my family. I am so grateful to Heal foundation for helping me to live respectably in society.” -Prabhakar

“HEAL has played a big part in helping me to help my family and community. The HEAL health workers have taught me and included me in the empowerment process. I find great joy in helping my people to understand how to become more capable and reliant. With HEAL’s guidance, I have helped the sick in my community gain access to free health care, helped others gain farming subsidies, and new educational opportunities. I am so grateful for HEAL’s guidance to help me and my community become empowered.” -Prasad

 “The HEAL healthworkers have taught us so much! With their help I joined the empowerment process for my village. I now have helped to organize women’s groups and serve as the secretary for one. We have banded together to successfully request a mobile health unit from the government and I have taken a loan from the women’s group to begin a small store to provide for my family. HEAL helped me learn how to rise up and make change.” -Shakun

“With HEAL’s help we have organized over 40 women’s groups with 10 members in each across our community. I help to lead discussions about needs in our community. One need was for water. Our people were having to walk a great distance to collect water resulting in inability to care for households or hold steady jobs. HEAL was the only organization that would listen to our cries. We felt like a person fallen down in a valley… HEAL helped us learn where we could lobby the government for a motor and helped us to drill a hole for a bore well that now serves 100 families in the community. The water is the most important thing for us. We are so grateful that HEAL continues to help guide us and we will grow together”. -Vasantha
