Community Health Days
Open days that bring basic health checks, information and advice closer to families who live far from a clinic.
Health & Wellbeing
Working towards healthier communities, where people can reach the support and information they need for their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
Why this matters
Good health is the ground everything else stands on. When people are well, children can keep learning, adults can keep working and families can plan for the future.
Through this program area, Rising Beyond Borders aims to help vulnerable communities access the support, resources and information that contribute to their wellbeing, with dignity.
What we focus on
- Access to essential health and wellbeing support
- Awareness that helps people make informed choices about their health
- Mental and emotional wellbeing as part of good health
- Prevention, so that problems can be met before they grow
