"I can see butsig on your hands. You wash them."
A 3 year-old who knows about Padma and Amina, and those nasty germs, from our books

The primary health and education books we produce and distribute to children and young people across Ladakh might be our most successful work. Everyone in Ladakh now knows Padma and Amina, two little girls who manage to get into endless trouble then learn lessons about health, community service, traditions, the environment and even new language skills.

HEALTH Inc's books are created alongside village children and produced by a team of Ladakhis from all walks of life, culture and religions. All ages bring a tremendous variety of skills to the team.

Our books remain copyright-free and we make sure they are freely available to all schools and clinics across the region, where just a few years ago not one book in the local language could be found. Any information we develop is freely available to be copied and used, and our books are now found in Tibet, Romania, Peru, Canada and inner-city schools in the USA.
