Help for Helpless HforH

Help for Helpless (HforH) is a charitable organisation working in health and education. We focused on emergency rescue and relief to people in accidents or health emergencies, organ donation, and long-term community welfare in health and education. Our strength lies in our extraordinary team of dedicated volunteers, an influential collective of medical professionals, social activists, teachers, and lawyers who pool their diverse skills to deliver maximum support to those in need. This collaborative spirit extends to our partnerships; we work closely with government departments and public and private sector organisations to amplify our reach and impact.

At HforH, we believe that a prepared and healthy community is a resilient community, and we continuously strive to empower our neighbours with the resources and knowledge needed to navigate and overcome life’s most challenging moments.

Origin of HforH

H for H owes its origins to community action that took place in Paravoor Government Hospital during the Chikan Gunia episode in 2007. As the number of patients requiring medical attention increased manifold, the hospital’s existing systems could not keep up. At that point, several community volunteers came forward to support the doctors in addressing the situation. This relationship between the doctors and the community volunteers continued even after the epidemic had passed. The volunteers then began working with the doctors to provide rapid assistance to accident victims and to care for patients in the hospital who had no one else to support them socially or financially; hence the name Help for Helpless.
