The South Asian Health Education Project (SAHEP) is a multi-faceted group of individuals who share interest in the public health approach to improve the health of South Asian Americans living in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
The South Asian American community in the U.S. is comprised of individuals with ancestry from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, The Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The community includes additional members of the South Asian Diaspora, including past generations of South Asians who originally settled in many areas around the world: the Caribbean (Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago); Africa (Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda); Canada; Europe; and other parts of Asia and the Pacific Islands (Fiji, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore).
