Inclusive Development

The 5H (Health, Hygiene, Homes, Human values, and Harmony in diversity) program is making a huge difference in the world through service and spirituality. The aim of the program is to uplift individuals and communities, and help them become self-reliant, both socially and economically.

Inclusive Development

Since its inception in 1997, the goal of 5H has been to create a social transformation that will eradicate poverty, misery and disease, and ensure peace and harmony among communities. In India, 34,422 villages have benefited from the program. It is also being implemented in villages and urban slums in South Africa, Cameroon, Brazil, USA and Kenya.

 

5H works to:

Raise the standard of living in impoverished areas

Educate individuals at every level: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual

Create a grassroots model for progressive social change

Give every human being a chance to have a disease-free body and a stress-free mind

Inculcate human values and foster harmony in diversity

 

Homes
5H helps communities with basic building needs such as homes, schools, and multi-purpose community centers.

Health
Includes educating people about good hygiene and health practices, and healthy eating habits, particularly among children and expectant mothers.

Hygiene
Achieving and maintaining good health is difficult where there are inadequate sanitation practices and lack of clean drinking water.

Human Values
Much of the unprecedented success and growth of the 5H program can be attributed to its emphasis on reviving Human Values such as friendliness, caring, respect and trust.

Harmony in Diversity
Through education that instills honor for diversity in nature and a sense of belonging to the world, the Harmony in Diversity segment of the 5H program creates a platform for sharing the common moral and spiritual values inherent in all religions.
