Our local partners are a lifeline for displaced communities
Your support enables us to provide practical and ongoing medical care
Practical and ongoing support to people without access to mainstream services
HART’s local partners are a lifeline to people in need. They provide essential medical supplies, healthcare equipment and skills training specifically tailored to their local community. They bring life-saving relief for illnesses that would otherwise be left untreated. At the Lady Cox Disability Rehabilitation Centre in Nagorno Karabakh, healthcare workers provide physiotherapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy to empower patients to live independent lives, as active members of the community.
HART has supported Health & Hope since 2005, before which there was almost no healthcare available in Chin state. Up until the military coup in February 2021, their network of trained community health workers were estimated to save the lives of eight out of ten people who would previously have died.
After the 2020 war, hundreds of wounded soldiers and civilians received medical help at the Lady Cox Rehabilitation Centre in the city of Stepanakert. The Centre’s enhanced team of nurses worked around the clock to keep their patients’ therapies on track, whilst continuing to treat some of the most vulnerable members of their community.
The Patongo Orphans Infants’ Health Rehabilitation Centre (PAORINHER) is a life-saving clinic for children with HIV, which remains a major challenge in Uganda. The Centre provides vulnerable children with nutritional, medical and psychosocial support, whilst helping to break the stigma of HIV in the region.
We believe local people are best placed to identify, understand and fulfil their own needs. They should be at the helm of their own development. Locally-led solutions build confidence and capacity within communities to tackle the health challenges they are facing. Their involvement promotes long-term, sustainable change.
Words are not enough to express our heartfelt thanks to you. It is one of the darkest time and difficult moment for us and the people of Myanmar. HART’s support means a lot to us.
Health & Hope, Burma
There is no health education in schools, no clinics or hospitals, and many people live far away from towns. If SWAN did not provide healthcare, these people would not have any access as they live in remote rural areas and have no money.

A lot of children died before Health & Hope existed, but now for six years, I cannot remember any children die in our town…My children haven’t been absent from school for a year, not even for one day!

We give people with different disabilities the chance to understand their abilities and not feel shame.
