Medical Clinic
In 2018, with the generous support of a church in Florida, HHY was able to open a medical clinic at the farm location. This clinic allows for monthly treatment of illness and injury, and distribution of medication often unavailable to the bush community.
Sadly, at the end of 2021, the financial support for the clinic will end. In an effort to continue clinic services, HHY has begun raising and selling chickens for profit. It is likely we will need to reduce the clinic services to accommodate a cut in budget.
Medical Assistance & Prevention
Lack of health education and limited access to health care results in various diseases and conditions. The people of our community do not have access to vaccines and treatments common to the developed world.
We are committed to delivering basic medical care to nearby villages in the form of antiseptic creams and bandages, cough and malaria treatments, etc. We frequently transport individuals in our community to local medical clinics or the hospital when the need is beyond our ability to treat.
On occasion, the need exceeds even that of the expertise of the local healthcare system. When this occurs, HHY coordinates care with other charitable organizations within Zambia to ensure all that can be done is being done.
In tandem with our medical assistance efforts, HHY also conducts community health education and disease prevention that teach basic life skills like hygiene and STD prevention.
HHY provides essential health supplies, hygiene education,
& transportation to clinics & other NGOs.

Aaron's Story
62 year old Aaron suffers from glaucoma. The medication prescribed is effective, but at about $150 per month he is not able to afford it. Give to help Aaron.
Surgical treatment of glaucoma is not available locally, and would require travel to the university hospital, about 5 hours distant by bus. If you or someone you know is interested in sponsoring Aaron's surgery, please contact us.
