Main Activity Of Hesperian Foundation
-: The Hesperian Foundation’s publications are simply written and heavily illustrated so that everyone, including people with little formal education, can understand, apply, and share curative and preventive health information.
-: Developed collaboratively with health workers and grassroots groups worldwide, the Hesperian Foundation’s materials address the underlying social, political, and economic causes of poor health, and suggest ways for groups to organize to improve health conditions in their own communities.
-: The Hesperian Foundation utilizes a royalty free “open-copyright” policy in order to encourage organizations to reproduce, translate, and adapt materials for distribution on a non-profit basis, as well as offering a varied pricing structure to make books more affordable to people in developing countries.
-: The Gratis Book Program distributes thousands of free books yearly to health workers who cannot afford even the heavily discounted price; the Translations Program gives small grants to help organizations translate Hesperian books and newsletters; and the Creative Education Program helps grassroots groups to develop creative but simple materials and methods for education about issues that affect the health of women.
