Emotional and psychological stress are inherently synonymous with military service and PTSD can be a major factor in veterans readjusting to civilian life. The World Hero Foundation is partnering with assistance programs to help individuals integrate back into communities, create and adapt job skills, and foster personal achievement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607947053635-AWKPSJ3M22LIDKJB5JM7/AdobeStock_308716508.jpeg Home - ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES The environment plays a crucial role in the sustainability of life as we know it here on earth. Human-induced pollution and over-use of natural resources are contributing to the destruction of our planet as well as threatening clean water supply, agriculture, animal habitats, and the air we breathe. The World Hero Foundation prioritizes environmental issues by supporting those helping to resolve them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1612491573779-A41DRGUBGKR86S95OB5P/AdobeStock_323477669+%281%29.jpeg Home - PPE SUPPLIES AND COVID-19 RAPID DIAGNOSTIC TESTING KITS The rapid spread of Covid-19 is threatening lives, health systems and economies. One of the best ways to mitigate the spread is to identify those who may be infected so they can be isolated and treated, reducing spread of the contagion to others. Rapid diagnostic testing and PPE are powerful tools in this fight. WHF has rapid result test kits and PPE available for purchase by companies and organizations who are serving front line workers or vulnerable communities. We also accept PPE donations, which will be given to those most in need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607946991001-YFL2JMPZQJ4NW0BRV2HK/AdobeStock_279281349.jpeg Home - GLOBAL HEALTH Global health is defined as the area of study, research and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. The World Hero Foundation supports innovative ideas and incubates new technologies with organizations, governments, and individuals to save lives, reduce disease, and improve health around the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607946932513-LCUVNSQX84B93NJF8L1A/AdobeStock_251425716.jpeg Home - HOMELESSNESS Every day an estimated 553,742 people in the United States have no home and live on the streets. The World Hero Foundation supports sustainable green housing communities and the delivery of essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves. The primary goal is to educate and prioritize a self-sustaining and dignified quality of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607947157297-T9V0SZQZAKBV4F11CNG2/AdobeStock_382801233.jpeg Home - FIRST RESPONDERS First responders risk their lives in the care and service of others, and in doing so, experience high levels of occupational stress and burnout. The World Hero Foundation offers multiple levels of support from PPE supplies to resilience training and mental health therapy. Helping our everyday heroes so they can continue to help all of us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607975087140-A4HWFFR3BG1H0A80OABT/iStock-1223480852+copy.jpg Home - FIRST NATION COMMUNITIES Indigenous people are 3.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19 than Caucasians and are twice as likely to die from the virus. Tribal governments lack the resources and support to effectively test for new cases and treat individuals when exposed. The World Hero Foundation is working quickly to prioritize access to COVID-19 tests and PPE supplies urgently needed to curb the spread of this deadly pandemic on tribal lands. https://www.worldherofoundation.org/take-action daily 0.75 2023-05-03 https://www.worldherofoundation.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2023-05-03 https://www.worldherofoundation.org/about daily 0.75 2023-12-30 https://www.worldherofoundation.org/initiatives-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607947397560-QA4O4TWV1PAYKDYFV3I6/AdobeStock_213036976.jpeg Initiatives - ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE The World Hero Foundation is dedicated to providing access to healthcare supplies and services to underserved communities throughout the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1592281024356-C697M0ECSPPBD9EQZR2U/jude-beck-vXxPNk8QIsA-unsplash.jpg Initiatives - MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS The World Hero Foundation is working to raise awareness and educate the public as well as destigmatize and eradicate mental health issues relating to veterans, first responders and victims of trauma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1608017903557-WP8N9MNJXBRLK8WO2FMI/AdobeStock_258956240.jpeg Initiatives - OCEAN CLEANUP The World Hero Foundation is dedicated to environmental issues such as the cleanup of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The GPGP is a collection of plastics floating in the ocean, some of which are so small they can’t be seen with the naked eye. This island of plastic is taking up an area roughly two times the size of Texas. The World Hero Foundation has developed technologies and procedures that will collect and recycle these plastics, thus reducing the need for new petroleum-based plastic production and cleaning the environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1592350833790-82F383XMCOGX541PMW99/AdobeStock_291274258.jpeg Initiatives - TRANSITIONING MILITARY VETERANS More than half of veterans struggle to find work after leaving the military and employers may not be aware of the wealth of skills military personnel offer. One way to bridge the military civilian divide in the workforce is internship and apprenticeship programs. The World Hero Foundation will provide information and resources for vets to gain the skills that employers want. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1592350880423-IM97T1FDVX3JU0LC0WFJ/AdobeStock_209623470.jpeg Initiatives - ANIMAL RESCUE & REHABILITATION Many of our service members return home with PTSD that is similar in animals that come from a neglected environment. The World Hero Foundation is sponsoring a new therapy program that matches veterans with rescue animals to assist with rehabilitation back to civilian life while providing individualized care and stability for an animal in need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607930918306-BQSI54OLO0W6RVR6OKCU/AdobeStock_114594229.jpeg Initiatives - RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS The World Hero Foundation has a team of award-winning filmmakers with a strong artistic vision and approach to storytelling that highlights our areas of focus from new perspectives. We aim to inform and call to action to affect change. https://www.worldherofoundation.org/documentary daily 0.75 2021-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1592355632646-QB062939C1ZP2X93EXMW/009.jpg DOCUMENTARY - “DEFENDING OUR DEFENDERS” WHF is developing a nationally released documentary addressing Veteran suicide, prevention, and treatment as well as PTSD symptoms and programs that will raise awareness and ultimately save lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1592354761220-TCGZDW2QNXU1MHUV6AEX/008.jpg DOCUMENTARY - “STOLEN SISTERS” WHF is developing a nationally released documentary addressing the first ever Missing Indigenous Persons Task Force of tribal members, which is creating a database for collecting information about missing Native women. In 2016, over 5,712 reports of slain or missing Native American women and girls were reported across the U.S., but only 116 of those cases were ever investigated. https://www.worldherofoundation.org/new-page daily 0.75 2023-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607941051024-5EZPIVRJDAX824X8KXQ3/Michelle_2.jpg Board Members https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607941075447-3Y9D8KR7SHIN0VIPRZ3E/Scott_3.jpg Board Members https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607941104850-7NY7VK4XYNXAOELNNOBY/Mary_4.jpg Board Members https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607941223857-4INBWG76EL5YKZ3HSYW7/Ray_7.jpg Board Members https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1607941196135-TUKQTG2XU2XVKXCCJKOK/Jinjie_6.jpg Board Members https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1612493257573-176S2HVKK5A89J37LDV9/Lim_2.jpg Board Members https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed79b14cd710023ebf6e433/1608009505770-84KIEOY4LBV564AEA2TA/Barbara_8.jpg Board Members https://www.worldherofoundation.org/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2023-05-03
