The TKOH Foundation Health Program:

The foundation recognizes that health is an important issue and goes first hand in hand with human rights in equality, freedom and with freedom respect for self and others. Better health cannot go without these crucial factors. In addition, health is next controlled by food and drinkable water.

Anyone's health is directly connected to having nutrition in food and drinkable water to be healthy to start with. We work to bring food to those that cannot do for themselves for short term relief, but what is needed beyond that is a long term solution. The TKOH Foundation works to both ends in feeding people fish and then teaching them how to fish so they are not just dependent for the rest of their lives.

Dependency is created not only by lack of something, but also a set of beliefs which may tell a person, culture, region or society that they are dependant. If that is the case then beliefs need to be addressed to bring self sufficiency, which is a condition of the heart long term. Short term food, water and supplements  are needed to sustain life and in the long term beliefs and attitudes need to be changed in order to bring effective change to a people or region.

To bring effective and long term change, besides supplying the necessities of life, Cognitive Restructuring is needed, which will bring long term resolve to problems and needs. This in essences not only solves the problem of supplying the temporary needs but also changes long term outlook as it deals with the root problems of belief systems in what can and cannot be accomplished. This is not only true for regions and a people, for individuals as well.

At The TKOH Foundation, we work to build hope in some of the world's most impoverished and forgotten communities. Our health programs can prevent the suffering of millions of people around the world from diseases often ignored by others. Many of the most severe afflictions are entirely preventable. Yet people living in developing nations die or are disabled because they do not have access to the services they need to treat their illness or avoid infection entirely. Every day our experts show people how they can take steps to transform their own lives.

Terror is created by not dealing with the root causes. It is a war on starvation and poverty that will bring long term and effective change and everyone plays a part in it one way or the other, by either getting involved on some level and becoming a part of the solution or stepping back and being the problem. For to long too many have just stepped back and let others do what they do and in many cases, do not do.

We can no longer afford to sit back in the war on poverty. Each can help even if it is to spread the word to those that might be able to help. It all counts and all adds up.
