Hesperian depends upon a global community of international partner organizations, health workers, volunteers and donors to support our work and help us develop and distribute life-saving health materials. From hundreds of grassroots health educators, activists and community leaders in the Global South who help us write, review and field test our materials to the dedicated volunteers who staff our Gratis Book Fund, conduct on-site research and pack our books so that they reach the people who need them, Hesperian's reach depends upon our partners.

Partner with our current projects:

• Volunteer at Hesperian's Office by joining our team of book packers or providing support for an individual project
• Collaborate on our books in progress and use your expertise and your grassroots contacts to help us develope and test materials that are relevant and practical for health workers around the world
• Translate a book to help expand our reach and impact
• Review our books and tell the world what they can do!

Spread the word about 'Health for All':

• Host a Hesperian House Party and invite your friends for an evening of learning about the global health movement
• Post a free Hesperian banner on your website. These beautiful Flash banners link to our homepage and feature a variety of themes
• Give our books to friends and family working and living abroad
• Read our weblog, link to it on your own blog and post lots of comments
• Follow us on Social Networking Sites
• Join the People's Health Movement!

• Give a Gift of Health to support our Gratis Fund
• Make a tax-deductible donation to support our work
• Become a Monthly Sustainer and increase your tax-deduction while providing the sustainable support that helps us grow
