Health Projects
Overview
The Challenge
Good health is a first step towards a happy, fulfilling life. Yet a vast segments of the world's population have neither access to proper nutrition nor medical and dental care, nor do they receive basic education in maintaining good health. The 5H programmessmeme of the Art of Living Foundation aims to resolve this challenge.
The 5H programmessmeme has initiated projects in various areas of India, South Africa and Central and South America. The programmessmeme includes organising health care camps, which provide medical and dental care to the rural population. It introduces some age old simple practices which are good for human and environmental health in the long run.
