Building community-first solutions for underserved communities globally
We support non-profits and social enterprises in implementing innovative solutions in community-based healthcare.
About Us
Our Mission
Our mission at the Healing Fields USA Corp is to support non-profits and social enterprises in implementing innovative solutions in community-based healthcare, while also providing quality and equitable primary care, education, and sustainable livelihood opportunities through affordable technology.
Our Focus
We are working with vulnerable populations such as women, adolescent girls, children and the elderly. Our goal is to ensure that essential services, technological advancements, and skill development resources are readily accessible in areas that lack adequate support and assistance. Through our efforts we strive to prevent intergenerational debt and poverty resulting from illness and alleviate the burden of disease on families and communities, fostering brighter futures for their children.
Our Accumulated Expertise
Healing Fields USA Corp will leverage on the expertise in sustainable, community-led, transformative programming and impact created by the Healing Fields Foundation India.
Founded by our Mukti Bosco, the Healing Fields Foundation India is over two decades old and has been doing pioneering work in creating paradigm shifts in health seeking behaviour. Its handmaiden: a robust, trained network of health change agents who anchor a community-based model of work and service. The journey and experience is spread across 6700 villages in 10 Indian states impacting 8.5 million citizens. The Foundation’s approach is comprehensive -- working to prevent health problems through education; facilitating access to health services, entitlements from the government and health products; and treating minor health concerns with care. Healing Fields Foundation in India has trained over 6000 Health Change Agents and the network is growing.
It is this accumulated expertise that will help us conceptualise and build community first solutions by partnering with mission aligned nonprofits worldwide and support them with grants for specific programs.

"What they see on the ground should disturb them, touch them. We need that kind of person."
The foundations of change rest on individuals. That unique set of people who have a deep sense of understanding and empathy. Health they can learn, compassion and the need to engage and bring about change is a default DNA we search for. Community driven healthcare has to touch the forgotten lives, change them and bring about a behavioural shift in addressing the community’s capacity to act and evolve…
