Health and Education for All

What Health and Education for All does

Health and Education for All (HAEFA, pronounced "hi-fa") is a US-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2012 and headquartered at 311 Bedford Street, Lexington, MA, with a wholly-owned operating subsidiary, HAEFA Bangladesh, located in Uttara, Dhaka. The organization delivers free medical screening and treatment services to underserved women, children, and men in remote and coastal regions of Bangladesh and to Rohingya refugees from Myanmar living in the Kutupalong and Balukhali camps in Cox's Bazar. HAEFA reports cumulative impact of 6.2 million underserved people and 1.1 million Rohingya refugees served since inception, with current run-rate activity of 7,000+ Rohingya patients per month and 1,800 free consultations per week, delivered through 73 facilities, direct clinic operations, on-site garment factory programs, and Health on Wheels mobile units.

HAEFA's core technology is the NIROG Electronic Health Record system, used across facilities for patient data management, quality tracking, and integration with its digital see-and-treat cervical cancer screening program that enables immediate treatment decisions at the point of care. The organization also operates a COVID-19 Clinical Management Certification Course as an education service line, and has activated emergency response services for the COVID-19 pandemic, Rohingya camp fires, Cyclone Amphan, landslides, and floods. Academic credibility and research collaboration are anchored by a core partnership with Brown University's Global Health Initiative.

HAEFA is funded entirely through tax-deductible public donations, primarily via PayPal and direct contributions, with no equity funding rounds, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue or audited financials in the public input. The organization states that for every $1 donated, $0.97 is allocated to direct program service expenses (of which $0.80 is sent to Bangladesh and $0.17 covers technological supplies, travel, and fundraising), with $0.03 covering administrative expenses. Customer segments are organized as a hybrid geography/persona split: Rohingya refugees and underprivileged Bangladeshi populations are primary segments, while garment factory workers form a secondary segment. GTM motion is community-led, relying on medical volunteers who travel to camps and remote sites, publish articles, fundraise, and assist with administrative work, supplemented by remote volunteers supporting monthly newsletters and fundraising efforts.
