Health and Harmony clinics in West Borneo

Health and Harmony did 1000 hours of listening to communities, to ask what they needed to make life better. They knew the problems ecologically in the terms of palm oil and deforestation but at a local level by listening and working with these communities they found out that the community did not want to cut down rainforest and wanted alternative livelihoods and health care. In response Health and Harmony have set up an entire clinic and trained Indonesian doctors to take care of the communities which has drastically reduced Malaria. Their empowering livelihood programmes have also led to people turning in their chainsaws resulting in the forests growing back.
