Sponsor a H2U
Before Bal Academy opened, the majority of children from Khichan were schooled in huts or crowded classrooms with little light, sharing desks and few books. There weren't taught the skills like English or computers that would allow them to compete in today's world. Bal Academy classrooms are equipped with new technology and supplies, with bilingual instruction. Sponsoring a classroom ensures that more children have access to a bright future.
Sponsoring a child provides education, a uniform, transportation, and school supplies for a child at Bal Academy for the entire year. For just $250 a year, you can help provide the path to a bright future for a young child. The children at Bal Academy receive an excellent bilingual education with access to computers, smart classrooms, and skills training that the majority of rural children never have access to. For the cost of one coffee a week, you can secure a child's future.
In Khichan, more than half of all women are illiterate. Education for girls is still not highly valued; however, the weight of supporting a family increasingly falls on women's shoulders as men leave for months at a time to look for work in urban areas. Having a skill to support the family can mean the difference between putting food on the table or not. Our women's empowerment program teaches women these skills. For just $100, a skills course can provide training for 10 women.

Sponsor Empowerment
H2U is a Mobile Health Unit Program. or villagers in remote areas with little access to transportation, traveling to a nearby medical center or hospital can take days. The units ensure that these people have access to routine medical care. They contain all of the equipment needed for exams and minor operations, as well as X-ray, EKG, and diagnostic laboratories. Supporting an H2U ensures that one mobile unit runs 5 days a week for an entire month.
Sponsor a Health Center
The local government in Khichan long ago built health centers to render services to the remote villages. However, all of these health centers are now abandoned. IHBS has taken on the task of renovating these centers and ensuring that a doctor visits each one every week. The centers that have been renovated so far attend to over 100 patients a week, mostly women and children. Supporting the renovation of a medical center can have a profound impact on the health of an entire village.
