ABOUT US

HUMAN SERVICEINTERNATIONAL – USA

A Mission Born in Ames, Iowa Founded by Dr. Shaafi, in 2001 in Ames, Human Service International – USA began as a small humanitarian initiative focused on education, community service, and preventive health awareness. What started in the Great Hall of Iowa State University evolved into an international mission to address America’s growing chronic disease crisis through prevention and awareness.

A Journey Across the World to Find Solutions for America Dr. Shafi M. Shaafi, a resident of Ames, Iowa, dedicated more than 15 years of his life searching for sustainable and prevention-focused health solutions for America. Believing that chronic diseases were overwhelming the nation financially and socially, Dr. Shaafi traveled to India to collaborate with scientists, doctors, medical institutions, and communities to study affordable natural prevention strategies.
Throughout his journey, Dr. Shaafi worked with:

Community leaders
U.S. senators
Physicians
Health activists
Students
University leaders
Researchers
Media organizations

Our message throughout our journey is consistent:
“Defeat disease before disease defeats America.”

Heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and metabolic disorders are silently destroying millions of American lives and draining the nation’s future. Project HAWA was created to shift America from a disease-treatment system to a prevention-focused healthcare culture. This initiative believes:
Prevention is the first medicine.
The future of healthcare must begin before disease begins

Did You Know?

America is spending nearly $5 trillion treating chronic diseases that are often preventable.

“HAWA is a prevention-focused public health initiative dedicated to reducing America's disease burden through awareness, lifestyle science, and community-driven prevention strategies.”

“America cannot treat its way out of a prevention crisis.”
