“Each One Teaches One”
 We believe in this philosophy and practice to spread empowerment until the
whole village, town, city, county, and country is better informed and self-
sufficient. This can only be achieved by protecting and promoting the practice
of Traditional Medicine in healthcare, along with clinical practices best suited
and most cost-effective to indigenous people.
Education for empowerment is the key to poverty relief, not “hand-outs.”

Humanitarian Action
Humanitarianism

to promote human welfare.
 Humanitarianism in health care embraces the idea
of people administering humane treatment(s) to assist
others in the safest and most cost effective manner(s).
 Humanitarianism drives people to save lives,
alleviate suffering, and promote human dignity.
Disaster & Health Management
 Humanitarianism is based on a view that all human
beings deserve respect and dignity and should be
treated as such. Therefore, humanitarians work
towards advancing the well-being of humanity as a
whole.
Humanitarian Medicine
 Alleviates suffering, unconditionally, without financial
or ulterior motive.
 Affirms the conviction that all people have equal
dignity by virtue of their membership in humanity,
thus, deserve assistance whenever needed, and where
ever possible, without discrimination.
