Our Health
Programs
Nesting for Hope International offers children complimentary counseling and minor treatment services through the NHIK clinic, conveniently located within the after-school program center. Additionally, to ensure sustainability, the community will also have access to the health center’s services for a minimal fee, providing a reliable source of affordable healthcare and further supporting the well-being of the entire community. This holistic approach will not only benefit the children but also their families and the broader community, fostering a healthier and more resilient society for generations to come.”
Children in this community face serious respiratory health challenges due to poor housing, exposure to smoke and dust, and malnutrition from poverty, all of which increase their risk of infections and hinder their development. Improving housing, access to nutrition, and hygiene education through targeted interventions can help reduce these health issues and promote the community’s overall well-being.
