To empower communities through accessible health education, breaking down language barriers and cultural differences to ensure everyone can make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing.
The Equity & Health Literacy Project (EHLP) is a community-rooted health education initiative based in the Greater Toronto Area. We work to close the health literacy gap by creating accessible, multilingual, and culturally responsive resources that help individuals of all backgrounds confidently navigate the healthcare system.
What began as a youth-led movement has grown into a broad, intergenerational project focused on reaching immigrant, racialized, low-income, and linguistically diverse communities. We are proud to be sponsored by the City of Vaughan, whose support has helped us expand our impact and deepen our community outreach.
