Healthy Hands Initiative

The mission of Healthy Hands is to provide basic sanitation resources to the underserved communities and school systems in northern India due to the preventable devastation these communities face as a result of a lack of medical and social sanitation. We seek to provide sustainable clean water solutions to underserved families and students—initially in the Bokaro district of northeast India—in order to reduce the rates of prevalent, preventable diseases and work towards promoting social welfare and healthcare in our targeted areas. We aim to limit the high rates of prevalent diseases by connecting students to the unique and abundant public health resources of The University of California Los Angeles and supporting student community outreach projects through this platform to become part of an achievable solution to promote social welfare and healthcare in our targeted areas.
