Health Education.
Disease Prevention.
Gospel Connection.
We serve individuals and communities through
health education and advocacy.
Our mission is to prevent disease without creating dependency. Our values are listening to people’s stories, engaging in their lives, and providing the tools needed for individuals and communities to become healthier. We do this while connecting to local bible studies and churches for the advancement of the gospel.

Community Health Seminars.
More is more. More people receiving health education means more lives improved. DHI asks communities about their unique needs. We find ways to provide eduction, partner with local experts and use local resources. Topics for community seminars include how to have clean water, HIV & AIDS awareness and prevention, tuberculosis, women’s health, wound care, disease transmission and much more.
Individual Health Advocacy.
Everyone deserves access to health education. We are thankful for local clinics and doctors but we want less unnecessary, preventable reasons to go to the hospital. DHI provides health advocacy through meeting with people one on one to really listen and understand their stories and find creative, obtainable, locally sourced solutions. We have the time and resources to continue to be involved in their lives and continue with follow up care.
Health Kits
A health kit is as unique as the individual it is given to. While DHI is unique in that we INVEST in the individual through time and education, we also want to be a blessing in tangible ways. Every health kit bag is handmade by a local Tanzanian, and every thing in the health kit meets the needs of the person it is given to. These kits could include birth supplies (required from a mama to bring to delivery), wound care needs, food packages, infection treatment, general wellness kit, water filters, and much more.
