Story
HealthProm is a UK based charity working to support vulnerable children and their families in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Afghanistan and the United Kingdom. Our mission is to give vulnerable children the best start in life.
Were a small charity that makes a big impact. For over 25 years, our dedicated teams have supported marginalised children and families, helping them to overcome the challenges of poverty, abuse, social exclusion and disability. But today we face our greatest ever challenge in raising new funds.
Please help us protect children like Farzad. Read Farzad's story below.
When Farzad's mother Fatima first approached one of the baby homes in Tajikistan, she was in desperate need of help.
She was the fourth wife of a man who was physically abusive. She also had difficulties with her husbands other wives, his sisters and his mother, who all lived in the same home. Fatima and her son Farzad suffered constant abuse from the family.
She had no choice but to leave. With no money, no family support and nowhere to live, she turned to the local orphanage.
In the past, young Farzad may have been left in the institution, his future uncertain. But, thankfully, HealthProm was there. With our local partners, we were able to provide Fatima and Farzad with food, water and shelter, while helping Fatima get back on her feet so she could build an independent future for herself and her son.
Imagine for a moment that HealthProm had not been there for Fatima, Farzad and countless children like him. Please help us to support more children like Farzad. Without your help today, life could be very different for many vulnerable children.
Without urgent action, it's not just the future of HealthProm that's at risk: the future of many vulnerable children is in the balance as they face the added challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each year, we transform the lives of children in great need. Without your help, this vital work could end. Imagine the impact on each child, each family we help.
Please, if you can, help us to continue to guarantee a better future for vulnerable children.
We don't have expensive offices to maintain or high salaries to fund. Last year, over 96% of our spending directly supported our international activities just less than 4% was spent on fundraising and support costs. In the countries where we work, every pound will make a real difference to the lives of children who need our help.
