What We Do
Since 2004 Hope Through Healing Hands has invested more than $3 million in charities in both the United States and abroad. These investments have been in support of infrastructure, sustainable health development, education, healthcare, emergency relief, and access to general aid. This assistance has primarily focused on HIV/AIDS, but HTHH has also contributed to projects ranging from Hurricane Katrina to health education in Africa. Most recently, we have contributed over $150,000 to organizations who are providing immediate and direct care for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. See Our Beneficiaries page.
We sponsor young health professionals, including students, residents, and fellows, to participate in our Frist Global Health Leaders program. Students from Vanderbilt School of Medicine, Vanderbilt School of Nursing, Meharry Medical College, East Tennessee State University, and Princeton University traveled in 2009 to underserved areas to promote peace through health in communities and clinical settings. These students spend a semester (or year) focusing on service to those in need, alongside the work of training community health workers.
We proudly lead the Tennessee Global Health Coalition. With over 40 nonprofit organizations, universities, and churches, we are excited to promote a robust networking system within our own communities for better efficiency of programs through partnerships and support. We hold quarterly meetings providing a deliberate social space for these global health leaders in our community to build relationships with one another.
