One Call, One Life
We are raising $35,000 to fund emergency care for 1,000 children and mothers in Nigeria. $35 saves one life.

The Gap we Bridge
Treatment is often possible.
Reaching it in time is not.
Before help arrives
Nine in ten Nigerians have never been taught basic first aid. The closest person may not know what to do.
At the hospital
Everything can be ready, and a patient still waits, because treatment can’t begin without an initial deposit.
Between hospitals
Not every hospital can handle every emergency. HEI helps patients reach the right one in time.
After survival
Survival is only the first step. Without follow-up, people can return to the same conditions that put them at risk.
How we work
Bridging the gaps in the path to care.
CPR, First Aid and Pre-Hospital Training
We equip people with CPR, first aid and other emergency response skills so they can act in the critical minutes before professional care arrives.
☛ First Responders Training
☛ Emergency Health Education for Schools
Financial Support for Indigent Patients
Providing treatment funding/initial deposits for vulnerable patients with non-chronic medical conditions who are unable to afford urgent medical care, enabling timely access to life-saving interventions. We support eligible acute non-chronic conditions.
Accident and Emergency Aid
Providing initial treatment deposits for victims of road traffic crashes, fire outbreaks, and other emergencies during the critical first 24–48 hours, through structured hospital partnerships that improve survival and recovery outcomes. This will prevent delays and treatment can begin immediately upon arrival to the hospital.
Community-Based Intervention for Acute Malnutrition (CBIAM)
Identifies, treats, and monitors malnourished children under five through community-based nutrition support, caregiver education, and timely referrals using ready-to-use therapeutic food.
Since 2015, HEI has stepped in so treatment could begin when payment stood in the way. A decade later, we work across the whole path from crisis to care.

MORE THAN A DECADE OF MOVING PEOPLE FROM CRISIS TO CARE
HEI began in 2015 at the hospital gate, stepping in so treatment could begin for patients who could not afford their bill when it was needed. A decade on, we work across the whole path from crisis to care, because that path can break at more than one point.
We still help indigent and vulnerable patients access urgent treatment, and we still support crash victims. We have also trained more than 147,500 first responders, brought CPR and emergency response training into Nigerian secondary schools, supported children through malnutrition recovery, and raised awareness around sepsis and non-communicable diseases, building alongside hospitals, government agencies, and global partners working toward the same standard of emergency care.
