Health Poverty Action

Health Poverty Action is a charity that works with health workers, activists and communities worldwide to improve health outcomes for people while also challenging the causes of poverty. We see health and poverty as issues of social, political and economic justice. We work practically alongside communities to support their struggle for health and prosperity. We also campaign at all levels to tackle the power imbalances at the root of poor health and poverty.

Supporting midwives and mothers

Supporting midwives and mothers
In Myanmar, around four in ten mothers give birth without any professional support. We train, equip and support midwives like Khaung so they can ensure that mothers like Khin in remote mountain villages are able to give birth safely.

Standing with neglected communities

Standing with neglected communities
We work alongside neglected communities worldwide who refuse to accept the injustices that deny people a healthy life. In Myanmar, we work with isolated communities so that families can benefit from professional healthcare.

Seeing health differently

Seeing health differently
We are building global alliances to confront the big issues when it comes to health and prosperity, from unfair trade to the legacies of colonialism.
