Our Story
Our mission is to provide health services to people in poverty or who would otherwise have no access to health services. We achieve this by aligning with and supporting, both financially and physically, existing projects which provide health services to people in poverty.
Giving Health was founded by Dr Taylor Harrison in 2015 after years of dreaming and planning. It had always been a goal of Taylor’s to start a charity, but he was convinced after reading “Start something that matters” by Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS shoes. He designed a pay it forward health system, where people would receive health care and pay for it as per normal, with the money going to provide health care for people in need. In April 2016, Taylor and a group of colleagues went on their first trip to Manila, helping over 1000 people in poverty receive healthcare. It was an eye opening experience as they lived and worked in the slums, seeing first hand the effects of poverty on families. He is committed to continuing to support the people in these areas live happier and and healthier lives, through better access to health care.
