Total Health Village (THV) Program

The organization's dedication to empowering communities to address their challenges drove the Total Health Village (THV) program, a comprehensive and transformative development initiative. Focused on remote and rural areas with health issues encompassing economic, mental, and spiritual well-being, SMAid took a comprehensive approach to tackle these challenges. Through strategic selection, the positive effects of SMAid's interventions extended beyond the target communities, rippling through surrounding areas over time.

SMAid International was involved in two Total Health Villages, Kobedi and Tumiamayenko, Sunyani West District of Ghana.
