About EHHI
EHHI is the official academic and training branch of EHFA Foundation, a registered NGO/charity organization. Unlike traditional institutes that focus on only one field, EHHI takes a dual approach to community well-being:
Human health – through professional nursing and medical training.
Food security – through modern agriculture and agribusiness programs.
Our belief is simple: A healthy community needs both skilled nurses and sustainable food systems.
EHHI offers accredited diplomas, certificates, and short courses. Graduates become front-line health workers, agricultural extension officers, farmers, and social entrepreneurs.
