What it says it does

Compassionate Health Initiatives (CHI) is driven by a profound commitment to making a difference in the lives of those in need. Our partnership with Health and Disaster Services International - Hands International, a trailblazer in Mission Trips, has been instrumental in our journey. With their 20 years of experience, Hands International has touched lives across the globe, from the US to Ghana, Guyana, Haiti, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Trinidad and Tobago, and Papua New Guinea since their first mission trip in 2005. Their expertise and dedication have been a cornerstone of our success and a beacon of hope for the future. Our collaboration with local Faith Based groups is a testament to the power of community and compassion. In 2024, we led a successful 10 days medical mission to Gendia Hospital in Kendu Bay Kenya, with a group of 132 volunteers from United States, Sweden and locally. These volunteers consisted of Medical Doctors, RNs, Nursing students, local teams and support personnel.
