Village Health International utilizes programs that are adaptable to meet needs of differing religious, cultural, governmental structures, and geopolitical situations.
Partnership with International Communities
Measurable outcomes of success are a direct result of local community collaboration in identifying specific problems.
Village Health International is in partnership with local communities in Haiti, Mozambique, Columbia, India, and Ethiopia. Specific health education initiatives include sanitation, water purification and human trafficking prevention.
As a result of Village Health initiatives, malaria, typhoid and dysentery were reduced in the community of La Gonave, Haiti. The founder of Village Health International, Lowell Adams has been responsible for the community education which empowered 5,000 families to build and maintain latrines.
