Empower 500k+ people to make better health choices
                                       Introduction

In the past 18 months, with the greatly appreciated help of your generous donations,
Human Health Project has made significant progress with this crowdfunding campaign
and the delivery of its mission (to promote peer-to-peer holistic health with three pillars:
Information, Education and Support), whereby people around the world can help each
other with their health issues, reducing inequities in health outcomes. Please take a look
at our recently updated brochure, or my brief video about HHP. HHP has a special focus
on the underserved and vulnerable population groups, as well as the elderly and their
caregivers.

                                        Education

In the past two years, we have created and delivered a 9 module Patient Advocacy
Course and an 8 module Patient Education course localized to Northern Ireland. In
October this year, we launched our first publicly available online Patient Education, three
module course entitled Patient Driven Data and Diagnosis, the New Trailblazers in
Health Research available with a $10 donation or free of charge with completion of a
financial aid application, (please use this code 8JWESVAY to take the course free of
donation). We plan to launch a second three module course, Patient Empowerment 101
before the end of this year and to launch 4 courses per year in the coming years
(following the curriculum at the bottom of this doc) in the US and UK/Ireland. In addition
to this, we are now working to launch localized versions of our courses in partnership
with local health care organizations in local areas of the US and UK/Ireland and in other
countries with a special focus on developing nations. Here’s a short short video about
the Learning Academy. Please contact bizdev@humanhealthproject.org if you would like
to discuss partnering for the localization of HHP courses or to suggest the creation of
new course titles.

                                         Support

Following Patient Advocacy focus groups that we held in Los Angeles, Belfast and
Dublin in the first half of 2019, we were successful in receiving a Northern Ireland patient
advocacy programme grant from the UK National Lottery Awards for All programme in
December 2019 and we received a Northern Ireland digital literacy programme grant in
December 2020. Due to delays caused by Covid 19, these programmes did not get
underway until June this year with all activities online. We are now developing an online
Patient Advocacy and Digital Literacy workshops programme with release targeted to
commence in the UK/Ireland in 2022 and in the US and in other countries in 2023. In
parallel with this program, in October 2020, we launched our Online Peer to Peer Panel
events which have been very well received. Videos of the events are marketed following
the events and can be viewed on the HHP events page. To date we have hosted five
panels, the latest of which was titled “Building Your Healthcare Team with a focus on
Alzheimers and Dementia” which took place on November 12th 2021. With your help, we
plan to continue to host a growing number of panels each year going forward. Please
see my brief video about the online peer to peer panels program.

                                      Information

While continuing to share 50 pages of reports on both Migraine and Lupus on
Humanhealthproject.org, we have been working on building infrastructure to be able to
allow the HHP community to share information about their health conditions: Causes and
Triggers, Symptoms and Treatments including Side Effects and Outcomes in a very user
friendly form and in particular for people sharing on their mobile phones. In order to
launch and add more and more conditions in the coming 10 years. Please watch my
brief video to learn more.

                                       Partners

In addition to offering HHP programs online, we welcome partnerships with other non
profit community healthcare organizations around the world in respect of all of our
programs from the localization of HHP Learning Academy courses to working with
partners on the collection and sharing of real world data to the delivery of patient
advocacy       and      other    peer     support    programs,     please     email
bizdev@humanhealthproject.org with any questions and enquiries.

                                        Funding

In Q4 2021, we are relaunching this crowdfunding campaign with a target of $250,000 to
continue to fund the programs outlined above. In addition to this, we will fundraise in
other ways via social media and where possible with grants from foundations. In addition
to cash funding, our goal is to expand our current approximately 100 volunteers to 250
plus over the next five years with a cash equivalent annual value growing from $2.5m to
$6m.

                               Support you can provide

After reading through this information you might think “What can I do to help?” Here’s my
brief video about helping HHP. There are lots of opportunities where you can us with the
creation and delivery of our programs including:
            • Volunteering for a period of time
            • Raising awareness of Human Health Project and the work we do by
               hosting a gathering to fund raise
            • Promotion and fundraisers on social media (Facebook and Instagram)
               and through other avenues
            • One time and monthly financial contributions via Human Health Project to
