About

Rural Health International Non-Profit Organization (RHINO) is a 501(c)(3) organization (Tax ID: 27-1054022) that was established in September 2009 by a group of Wayne State University students. The idea for RHINO was inspired by the lack of adequate healthcare services for the poor in villages in rural India.

The objectives of RHINO are:

To increase awareness of the importance of regular physical check-ups in rural, underserved areas
Facilitate the Below Poverty Line (BPL) population in rural areas of developing countries to obtain
basic healthcare services
Encourage community leaders to fund low-cost health facilities for rural areas

RHINO has partnered with an Indian Non-Profit organization called Sacred Trust. RHINO and Sacred Trust have collaborated to provide basic healthcare services through the use of a mobile clinic in South India. The mobile clinic will be donated by Seshagiri Muthya, a philanthropist and Trustee of Sacred Trust. In the long term, RHINO will expand to other developing countries.
