Heartland Alliance International (HAI) implements programs in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and in Chicago at the Marjorie Kovler Center. HAI’s technical areas include mental health and psychosocial support, gender equity, access to justice, and stigma-free HIV prevention, care, and treatment. Across all programs, HAI promotes progressive, innovative approaches to human rights protections and gender equity. Our mission is to secure the rights and well-being of marginalized people and communities.
HAI achieves this mission by focusing on specialized mental health and psychosocial support and access to legal services for people who have been victims of violence and human rights abuses. We ensure the safety of these individuals and empower them to actively engage in their communities and drive social change.
HAI believes there can be no healing without justice, and no justice without healing.
