LEARN MORE ABOUT US
The Hands to Heart Foundation is a youth organization that seeks to empower society through life-saving education. By teaching people how to perform hands-only CPR and creating cardiac health awareness, Hands to Heart Foundation aims to raise a generation that is prepared and proactive in saving lives.
​
The organization has a belief that each individual, irrespective of age and status in life, can help in a critical moment. The CPR in Schools is our key project in which we conduct one-hour interactive workshops for students and teachers to raise awareness about emergency system response, the chain of survival, and life support skills. Of significance is that all our workshops are free. The costs are met through donations.
​
Beyond this role in education, Hands to Heart Foundation assists survivors of cardiac arrest through our online resources to assist in reintegrating into society. The organization is making its presence felt through all sorts of media to promote its significance in CPR. The Hands to Heart Foundation is helping to translate awareness into action through its volunteer-driven programs and others.

Christopher Chua
Christopher is a high school student based in Toronto, Ontario, with a strong passion for both medicine and economics. He is especially interested in the social impact of medicine and how economic systems can influence healthcare accessibility and innovation. Outside of academics, Christopher is interested in global health, leadership, and community development, and I hope to continue exploring how economic thinking can be applied to support medical and humanitarian goals.
