At the start of the 21st century, Africa was facing a devastating HIV/AIDS epidemic, affecting millions of people, families, and communities and leaving many children orphaned.

While antiretroviral medicines were increasingly available in wealthier countries, access to HIV treatment remained limited in many parts of Africa. In 2001, UK homeopath Peter Chappell travelled to Ethiopia to explore whether a homeopathic, resonance-based approach could provide additional support for people living with HIV/AIDS. Given the limited availability of trained homeopaths in many African communities, he sought to develop an approach that could be used by doctors, nurses, and other trained healthcare workers.

Peter developed a method for creating resonance-based preparations that became known as PC Technology, an approach within the field of Information Medicine. The first preparation, PC1, has since been used in thousands of cases, with positive results reported by practitioners and described in research. Since 2001, a range of other PC Resonances have been developed and used in relation to infectious diseases, different forms of trauma, and chronic health conditions.

The Amma Resonance Healing Foundation (ARHF) was founded in 2007 in the Netherlands. It grew out of positive experiences with resonance-based approaches supporting people living with AIDS and communities affected by epidemic diseases in Africa. Inspired by these experiences, the founders established ARHF to further develop and refine this approach and to make it accessible to communities where support is needed most.

Recognizing the devastating impact of malaria in Africa, ARHF launched the Africa Malaria Prevention Project (AMPP) in 2013. The initiative was created to provide an accessible, affordable, non-pharmaceutical approach for communities affected by malaria. The project uses PC240m, a resonance-based preparation developed by Peter Chappell in 2002, which has been used in connection with both acute and chronic malaria and in efforts to support resilience to the disease.

One of the first implementations of AMPP took place in Malawi during the 2013/2014 malaria season. Led by ARHF volunteer Ruthe Schoder-Ehri and the local Amma4Africa team, the project reached more than 6,000 children and adults in its first year. By the following malaria season, more than 27,000 people had received the PC240m preparation. Schools reported reduced absenteeism, while local hospitals observed fewer malaria-related hospitalizations and deaths in areas where the project was implemented.

The encouraging experience with AMPP in Malawi led ARHF to prioritize the program and expand it to other countries. ARHF continues to train African health workers in the use of PC240m, with the aim of supporting communities and reducing the burden of malaria across sub-Saharan Africa.

The introduction of the Learning Enhancement Africa Program (LEAP) marked a significant step in ARHF’s mission. This program was made available to schools to support children’s health and wellbeing, as well as develop their learning skills. Data and feedback from participating schools have reported reduced absenteeism and improved learning outcomes. These encouraging results support ARHF’s vision of helping a new generation move from Sickness to Success.

In 2021, ARHF reached a remarkable milestone, supporting more than half a million people in a single year. This milestone reflects the growing reach of ARHF’s resonance-based work in Africa, particularly in communities where access to healthcare and other forms of support can be limited. Through collaboration with local health workers, NGOs, and volunteers, ARHF was able to provide resonance-based support to people and communities affected by malaria, HIV/AIDS, and other widespread health challenges.

The accessibility and affordability of this approach made it possible to reach people in even the most remote and underserved areas. Where conventional healthcare may be costly, difficult to access, or limited by challenges such as drug resistance, resonance-based support offered an additional option that was practical, sustainable, and easy to administer.

This large-scale implementation was made possible through ongoing partnerships, volunteer networks, and training programs that empowered local practitioners to continue the work within their own communities. The experience of 2021 demonstrated the potential of this approach to extend health and wellbeing support to populations often left without adequate resources, offering hope to countless individuals and families and showing what can be achieved when accessible solutions are placed in the hands of local communities.

By 2023, ARHF had mobilized a dedicated network of more than 1,000 active volunteers across 14 sub-Saharan African countries. These individuals played a crucial role in bringing resonance-based approaches to communities in need, supporting initiatives related to malaria, HIV/AIDS, and other health challenges, including both community support and prevention efforts.

Through extensive training programs, volunteers were equipped with the knowledge and practical skills to use and share resonance-based approaches within their communities. Many were local healthcare workers, teachers, and community leaders who integrated the approach into their existing work, helping to extend ARHF’s reach to people who might otherwise have limited access to additional forms of health and wellbeing support.

This growing volunteer network has helped make ARHF’s work sustainable and community-driven. Through their dedication, hundreds of thousands of people have received ARHF support, while local practitioners and community leaders have gained the knowledge and experience to continue these initiatives within their own communities.

ARHF has reached an incredible milestone—reaching more than 1 million people per year through its resonance-based programs. Thanks to a dedicated network of volunteers and local partners, this accessible approach has brought support to communities across sub-Saharan Africa, including many areas where access to healthcare is limited.

At the same time, the Learning Enhancement Africa Program (LEAP) has grown significantly, with more than 700 schools implementing the program. By bringing resonance-based audio into the school environment, LEAP supports students’ wellbeing, focus, resilience, and learning. Participating schools have reported improved attendance and learning outcomes, including among children living in communities affected by malaria and other health challenges. These encouraging results can help create greater opportunities for children and contribute to a brighter future.

These milestones reflect ARHF’s ongoing commitment to making health and education support more accessible, empowering local communities, and creating sustainable, lasting impact.
