Create Healthy Communities

The heart of what we do is in improving the health of our local communities. The Association of Sierra Leonean Health Professionals in The US has a goal to enable entire communities to live healthier lives.

At the onset, communities have already identified their own health needs. With this, The Association of Sierra Leonean Health Professionals in The US works with local health workers to develop projects that will meet those needs.

We address all areas of need such as people living in slums, camp for the internally displaced or remote rural areas in Sierra Leone where medical care is scarce – sometimes even inexistent.

We believe that the community is resourceful, and so we put their interests and opinions first – working in partnership at all levels, every step of the way.

The point of our programs is for communities to be better equipped and better staffed to take control of their own health development. We educate them enough to know how to demand of the government the assistance and services to which they are entitled. Within the different communities, TASHPUS shall combat the health challenges of those who are most vulnerable to ill health.
