About This Project

Summary

Fueled by the MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions in Toronto, and generously supported by Staples Canada, Our Healthbox is a groundbreaking, community-driven innovation designed to address health inequities in underserved populations. By providing 24/7 access to harm reduction supplies, HIV self-test kits, hygiene items, and more, it promotes health empowerment without judgment, stigma, or racism.

Goals & Objectives

Our Healthbox revolutionizes healthcare by providing low-barrier, real-time access to essential health supplies. Its goal is to reduce overdose deaths, prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and support underserved communities by delivering critical resources directly to those in need.

Results & Impact

Our Healthbox has reached 5,700+ people across 10 communities, distributing 1,081 naloxone kits and 15,000 harm reduction supplies; reduced healthcare barriers, empowered marginalized populations, and created a replicable model tackling health inequities and improving access to essential resources.
