Health, Education And Literacy Programme International
Charity 1100438
Overview
Summary
Health, Education And Literacy Programme International appears to use education and health promotion as practical routes to reducing poverty and exclusion. Its model spans local health-awareness activity in the United Kingdom and parent- or guardian-focused capacity building in India, suggesting an emphasis on strengthening the environments around disadvantaged children rather than treating children only as direct recipients. Its stated remit is broad, but the available evidence points most clearly to prevention, family empowerment and community-based support.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- Direct evidence from the Charity Commission records that the charity operates in Birmingham City, but does not identify any Birmingham service venue, project location, ward or recognised place.
- The listed address is in Dorridge, Solihull rather than Birmingham and is treated as contact or correspondence information, not evidence of a Birmingham operational site.
- The available evidence describes UK health-awareness sessions on lifestyle choices, nutrition and healthy eating, but does not establish their frequency, current delivery status, audience or precise Birmingham geography.
- No current evidence identifies Birmingham-based delivery partners, facilities or partnerships that materially extend the charity's reach within the city.
- The charity's overall footprint is reasonably interpreted as international because the current Charity Commission record lists operations in several UK local-authority areas and India; however, its Birmingham footprint cannot be classified as neighbourhood-based, district-wide or citywide from the available location detail.
Additional evidence needed
- A current programme timetable, annual report or impact report naming Birmingham session venues.
- Confirmation from the charity of whether health-awareness sessions are currently delivered in Birmingham, and if so the wards or venues used.
- Current formal partnership or venue agreements identifying any Birmingham organisations or facilities through which services are delivered.

Observations
It appears to work through the adults around children
In India, the organisation appears to address children’s disadvantage indirectly by improving parents’ and guardians’ knowledge and skills. This may indicate a family-strengthening approach, with women’s training and health education treated as part of children’s wellbeing.
Why it matters
This distinguishes the organisation from charities focused solely on direct child services. Its potential contribution may lie in improving the household conditions that shape children’s health, education and security.

Health education seems to connect its UK and India work
Although the settings differ, health education appears to be a shared operating thread: lifestyle, nutrition and healthy eating sessions in the United Kingdom, and health education in India. This may indicate a transferable prevention-oriented capability rather than two entirely separate programmes.
Why it matters
This suggests a possible organisational identity centred on health literacy. It would be useful to explore whether learning, materials or delivery approaches are shared across countries.

Its formal remit is much broader than its described activity
The organisation is registered across numerous beneficiary groups, charitable purposes and delivery methods, while the supplied activity description concentrates on health awareness and education or training. This may indicate either a flexible mandate or activity that is more focused than its formal classifications suggest.
Why it matters
Understanding this difference is important for identifying its actual role, likely partners and capacity. Broad classifications alone may overstate the range of work currently delivered.

- Whether services are delivered directly, through grants, or through partner organisations in India and the United Kingdom.
- Which communities, locations and beneficiary groups are currently prioritised in practice.
- Whether the organisation provides support beyond health and education despite its broad registered purposes.
Remaining uncertainties
- Recent annual reports or programme updates showing locations, partners, participant numbers and outcomes.
- Information on funding flows, staff or volunteers, and whether Indian activities are delivered through local organisations.
- Evidence of how women’s training, health education and child wellbeing are connected and evaluated.
