This holiday season HHI has been given the gift of a matching challenge grant from the James R. Greenbaum Jr, Family Foundation. The challenge is that the match applies to all new donors and to any dollar amount over the previous giving level of a previous donor, up to $50,000! We have until December 20th to complete this challenge, at which point our new funds will be automatically doubled by the Foundation. This means that HHI will achieve about half of our year’s fundraising in a very short time. More importantly, it means that HHI will continue to be able to offer our training and support in orphanages, to foster mothers, pre-school teachers, creche center workers and even village mommies who have requested the training from HHI Trainers.

Many of you already know, HHI is a very small, yet very efficient and very powerful organization. We do not have paid marketing staff, paid fundraisers, work in fancy offices or bare any other such unnecessary expenses – yet to date, we have led 128 Trainings in early childhood development, for 1,812 women, who are now providing more nurturing and supportive care to 15,159 orphaned and vulnerable children! Pretty amazing by anyone’s measures.

Due to our early success, and our impressive effectiveness, we have already had conversations with some of the world’s largest non-profits and government groups – UNICEF, World Vision, Family Health International, Medical Teams International, Catholic Relief Services – and the largest early childhood development program on the planet, India’s ICDS, has been successfully using HHI’s training for their teachers for more than a year in India. The other groups are interested in learning and applying HHI’s model within their own systems as well, it makes sense, allowing them to strengthen and streamline their own child health programs.

So, your donations, your support are leading to a global tide shift for child health programming. HHI is proving to be “The Little Program That Could”, and we will soon reach beyond borders, beyond India – our potential is limitless, because our intent is to place our model in the hands of others and support them to spread it to the women and children in the greatest need all over our world… consider the impact!

Please join us now by making a donation now.
