With roots in both the United States and Ghana, HH Healing Hearts Inc. is currently serving the Wa Upper West Region and the Savannah Region — with northeastern Pennsylvania programs in Monroe and Carbon Counties on the horizon.
That conviction was born in a hospital ward in Wa, Ghana, where our founder saw mothers and newborns dying from causes that cost almost nothing to prevent.
It drives everything we do today. It is why we deliver care packages instead of just sympathy, why we show up with diapers, food, clothes, medication, and education instead of waiting for someone else to act — and why we measure our success one mother, one child, one family at a time.
Our founder, Asther Ahmed S.I, was diagnosed with preeclampsia during her second pregnancy — a condition that kills tens of thousands of women around the world every year. She survived because she was treated in the United States, and she delivered her premature baby without complications.
In 2013, while visiting a sick family member at Wa Regional Hospital in Ghana’s Upper West Region, Asther witnessed a heartbreaking reality that changed her life forever. Many pregnant women could not afford prenatal care or even basic medical necessities. Mothers and newborns were losing their lives due to lack of access to essential healthcare. Doctors and nurses worked tirelessly — but often without gloves, stethoscopes, oxygen, or other critical supplies.
Seeing these challenges firsthand opened her eyes to the urgent need for support, compassion, and access to basic healthcare for vulnerable mothers and children. That experience planted the seed that grew into HH Healing Hearts Inc.
For years, she funded this work out of her own pocket. Today, HH Healing Hearts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — and the mission belongs to all of us.
