Healing Hearts, Restoring Hope

At One Heart One World Association (OHOWA), we believe that every child deserves the chance to live, grow, and dream—no matter where they are born. In many parts of the world, including Somali regions, children face life-threatening heart conditions that remain untreated simply because the care they need is out of reach. Our mission is to change this reality. OHOWA works to connect children and families with life-saving medical care, raise awareness about preventable heart diseases, and foster communities built on compassion and support. This work is not just about surgeries; it is about restoring dignity to families, giving children back their future, and reminding us all that hope can be rebuilt when we stand together. With the support of partners, friends, and communities worldwide, we continue striving toward a future where no child is left behind because of a heart condition—and where every heartbeat tells a story of resilience, possibility, and hope.

Our mission is to save children’s lives through life-saving heart surgeries and spread awareness about heart disease in schools. By educating communities and empowering families, we transform fear into hope, ensuring every child has access to care, every heartbeat matters, and every community values compassion and action.

We envision a world where no child suffers or dies from a treatable heart condition. A world where every heartbeat is valued, every child is given hope, and communities unite through compassion, awareness, and action—creating a future where children can live fully, dream freely, and thrive.
