EMMS International is Scotland’s longest-serving international healthcare charity. Since 1841, from our base in Scotland, we have set out to heal the sick in some of the poorest communities in the world. Today, we continue to improve health, in India, Malawi, Nepal, Rwanda, Scotland and Zambia. We do this through a multi-faceted approach, developing healthcare resources via education, improving infrastructure and the environment, tackling inequalities and discrimination, and so empowering the vulnerable. We help families in countries challenged by poverty to gain access to a range of healthcare, and help break the cycle of poverty and injustice by creating sustainable healthcare solutions with our partners. We stand with some of the most vulnerable in society to promote justice, giving them power over their own lives by providing them with an education to earn a living, whilst creating a stronger health service which helps protect their local environments.
