A vision
coming to life
The Mama Heidi Health Center in Tamale, Ghana is being built as a low-barrier health center — open to all, regardless of religion, origin, or income.
Our Mission
Health is more than the absence of disease
Based on the WHO's 1948 definition, we focus on physical, mental and social wellbeing. We are creating a place of care and community at the heart of Tamale.
