What We Do
Three focused programmes designed to help immigrants and refugees build healthy, educated, and connected lives in Finland.
Health & Well-being
On health, the focus is on PREVENTION, which we believe is cheaper and safer than treating or managing the actual problems, but we will also provide guidance on MANAGEMENT.

"I feel very good and satisfied with the guidance. I now know how much belly fat I have and what to do to take it out. The nurse is just amazing. Never seen anyone like her. Really thank you."
"I have learned how to respect each other's culture. I have learned to put other's culture first and make them understand how important care is without judging them or their culture. I have learned how to work as a cultural mediator."
"The most meaningful part was to see how impactful the event was — how many individuals actually cared about their health and were aware that they needed a check-up, and the free screenings did just that for them. The relief to understand what basic healthcare is and how they can promote it for themselves. The experience of the well-being day was a first-time experience as a nurse, and this makes me more confident on my journey."
"Hospitality is top notch and the professionalism is exceptional." "This type of health check event is truly valuable. Thank you for organizing such an important event." "These types of activities are important because they help us understand our health more easily." "It has been an eye-opening experience for me — I really need to be more aware about my health. Thank you so much for all you do, HEED. We love you."
