About the Medical Knowledge Institute, ‘Prevention through Education’

The Medical Knowledge Institute (MKI) is an international non-profit health organization established in the Netherlands and dedicated to “Prevention through Education”. MKI strongly believes that healthcare is a human right and has therefore developed several educational programs which are executed in developing countries. The objective is to improve the living conditions of the population by giving health related education and information to local aid workers and the local people. In their turn these local heroes pass on that knowledge to other local aid workers and trainers. Medical experts from all around the world are engaged for this. The funds to be able to perform this important work are mainly received through donations. The sale of an exclusive series of jewellery by means of the YOELL® project initiated by MKI also contributes to MKI's success. This jewellery is handmade by HIV-infected and affected women in South Africa: www.yoell.com.

The Medical Knowledge Institute is based in the Netherlands (Oostvoorne) and South Africa (Cape Town) and was founded in 1999 by Prof. Dr. Harold E. Robles, founder and President Emeritus of the Albert Schweitzer Institute for the Humanities.
