Justice Health Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. On our board, we have included professionals from the Boston area who are motivated by our work. JHI is guided by our Board of Directors and developed and managed by our staff and volunteers. 

Visit our leadership page for the current list of Board members.

 JHI has assembled a distinguished Medical Advisory Board composed of leading experts from institutions such as Boston Children’s Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Harvard Medical Center. This team of top-tier practitioners carefully reviews potential JHI patients to determine their suitability for our services. They then develop a tailored, dynamic treatment plan outlining the key steps needed for a successful path to health. Their expertise is integral to our mission, helping ensure that patient care and well-being remain at the heart of everything we do.

You can support JHI through our donation form, which features inspiring giving levels to help guide your contribution. Your generosity directly supports children and their families with personalized, holistic care—covering essential needs like travel, lodging, meals, and more. Every dollar donated through our portal goes entirely to supporting families in need; none of the funds are used for operational or administrative expenses.

JHI has found patients across several continents. Initially, the main geographical focus was Africa with a majority of patients coming from Burundi. However, we are expanding that scope to include children from Europe and Asia. We hope to continue to expand our reach.

At this time, we don’t accept children from the United States.

JHI supports traditionally underserved conditions and diseases. Our model targets children who suffer from tricky health situations that exclude them from other humanitarian aid initiatives. This means we don’t focus on infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDs or Malaria, but health conditions that require tailored individualistic care. For examples of conditions we have supported, review our patient archive. 

If you are the caregiver, or know of a child in need of JHI’s services please fill out our patient intake form. JHI is focused on international patients who suffer from rare or complex conditions. 

Please contact us if you are interested in getting involved with the work of JHI. Here are our main areas of potential involvement. 

Donate: JHI couldn’t provide the level of service to vulnerable children without the support of our community through donations. If you have the ability to donate your money goes directly to a vulnerable child in need. 

Volunteer: JHI has a broad and engaging volunteer network. We are over 90% volunteer run. Joining this network would allow you to connect in an authentic way to our work, providing directly for patients and ensuring they receive the care and attention they require. Visit our volunteer site to explore our volunteer opportunities. 

Fundraise: If you are interested in running a fundraising for JHI, be it a bake sale or 5K contact our team to coordinate. 

Visibility: Follow our work through our social media and newsletter. If you have the opportunity to speak about our work or broaden people's knowledge of us please take it or connect us with the opportunity. 

Prayer or Spiritual Support: Please keep our patients in your thoughts and prayers. We are thankful for all who include us in their spiritual practice giving us strength and uplifting the hearts of our patients and their caregivers.
