Our Story
FROM DREAM TO REALITY
Zandu Health Initiative (ZHI) was founded upon the many similarities in the stories that immigrants and refugees tell about their lives in the United States of America (USA). It is striking that such a diverse group of individuals - coming from differing countries and cultures and for different reasons - identify with the same needs and challenges. We discovered a sense of the richness of their cultures and the diversity of their experiences. As a result, ZHI was established in order to provide fundamental services and resources through which individuals, families, and communities can remain optimistic, build trust in health, education, technology and social service systems to curb the underlying aforementioned socio-economic realities few immigrants and refugees regret their decision to come to the USA.
ZHI's overarching goal is to provide services and resources to improve quality of care, quality of jobs, and quality of life within and across settings. The history we share gives us hope. The future we share also gives us hope. Deeply rooted within is a unique sense of purpose, the conviction not only for individual success, but also for leadership that can change the world.
