Hamara Heros

General information
Hamara Health is excited to present an engaging children’s book series designed to engage K-6 audiences with essential health topics where South Asian communities continue to experience disparities. Our books are produced using evidence-based guidelines alongside expert physicians and allied providers at top academic institutions. A core component of Hamara Health’s philosophy is that knowledge should be accessible to anyone. Given this, we have pledged that all proceeds from our children’s books are reinvested into community-first initiatives. There are absolutely no profits, nor salaries, within our organization, which is 100% volunteer-driven.

Empathy Emperor: A Tale of Inner Strength

In collaboration with MannMukti, Hamara Health proudly presents our children's book discussing topics in mental health. MannMukti is a national nonprofit organization working to encourage healthy dialogue about South Asian mental health, reducing stigmas and promoting self care habits.

In South Asian communities, deep-seated mental health stigma and systemic challenges often hinder open discussions and early support, leaving many young minds struggling in silence. By directly addressing these issues, our story hopes to empower children to embrace their emotions and build resilience, breaking down barriers to mental well-being. Here, we follow young Jay on a transformative journey guided by the compassionate Empathy Emperor, where he learns to express his feelings and seek support from loved ones. Produced in collaboration with MannMukti, this story reinforces our commitment to nurturing mental health awareness and resilience across South Asian communities.
