Factor-H HD Information

Factor-H is a humanitarian nonprofit founded to enhance the quality of life of families in Latin America affected by Huntington’s disease (HD) and living in poverty. Our mission is to build communities of cared for, resilient and self-sufficient HD families through alliances with local and international organizations. Our vision is to eliminate the suffering of those affected by HD and destitution. We aim to find collaborative ways in various levels to increase awareness and efforts to change the neglect and affliction of the communities where we are engaged. Factor-H’s four areas of focus are: Basic Needs (medical and nutritional assistance, energy and water), Assisting the Most Vulnerable (Kids’ Project/Project Abrazos, youth projects), Community Development (habitat improvement, micro-lending, Art 4 HD), and Advocacy & Education (community research, professional training, social engagement).
