Please support HHART service missions and projects with a cash donation. Proceeds go directly towards HHART operations.
$25 allows us to upgrade a potable water terminus to prevent disease and infection.
$50 allows us to reduce the likelihood of electrical shocks or fire in three homes (shacks, really) by upgrading the make-shift electrical wiring currently in place.
$75 allows us to replace leaking roofing panels in a poor family’s home or install solar lights to counter power outages (which are commonplace).
$100 allows for a full lab work-up, x-rays or ultrasound, and a consultation with a medical specialist for people with advanced illnesses, or provides reading glasses for 20 people.
$150 buys a dozen books for the literacy program, purchases a new bed for a family in need or provides a toothless elder their first set of dentures along with newfound confidence and improved oral health.
