Health Bridges International, Inc.
Health Bridges International, Inc. (HBI) envisions a world where every child has access to health, hope, home, and purpose. We collaborate and partner with the government, private and nonprofit organizations, and other programs toward healthy and fulfilling lives for youth and families. In Perú, poverty, violence at home, and a lack of coordinated support leave thousands of children and youth abandoned in the streets, enduring poor living conditions without access to proper care. HBI works to improve child welfare and family support through replicable models (Centers of Excellence) that train institutional caregivers and healthcare professionals, cultivate evidence-based practices within youth-focused programs, and influence government policy. For almost 30 years, HBI’s Centers of Excellence have been providing Perúvian youth and families access to resources, knowledge, and skills they need to break through poverty and build the lives they deserve.
