Clean Water Project (Zhongwei, China)

In 2012 the Little Heroes Foundation provided clean water access to children attending 50 boarding schools in Zhongwei, China. Zhongwei is located in the desert region of the Ningxia Province. The local people live on an estimated annual income of $535 per household. Without access to clean water for most of the year, individuals living in this area suffer greatly from drinking contaminated water.

Little Heroes is working with a local Chinese organization to install machines in schools that have been specifically engineered to provide safe, sustainable drinking water. With the installation of these machines, it is estimated that 30,000 children will be provided with access to safe drinking water each year.

Nepal Health Clinic (Birendranagar, Nepal)

The Little Heroes Foundation funded a health clinic in Birendranagar, Nepal (near Chitwan). The 542,000 people living in this rural area previously had to travel 1-2 days 
to reach health care. As a result, one in every six children in Birendranagar died before their first birthday. With this new health clinic in place, the infant mortality rate will decrease by 60 percent.

The health clinic is estimated to treat 20,000 people in 2012 alone. The funds donated by the Little Heroes Foundation purchased medical equipment including an x-ray machine and other lab equipment. It also helps provide maternal care, pediatric care and basic educational training to the local people about how to better care for their health needs.

Children's Hospital (Lyubertsy, Russia)

With the help of the International Women’s club of Moscow, the Little Heroes Foundation supported the Lyubertsy Children’s Hospital through structural and equipment improvements. Five floors of the hospital were renovated including bedrooms, bathrooms, dining halls, nursing stations, directors’ offices, kitchen, laboratory, and children’s playroom with a library. 

In addition to structural improvements, LHF purchased equipment, including respiratory machines, injection machines, plumbing supplies, electrical supplies, water heaters, windows, new flooring, doors, refrigerators, cribs, beds, tables, chairs, mobiles, and blankets. The Lyubertsy Children’s hospital houses sick babies and children who have been turned over to the state and did not have adequate shelter and care.
