Heart N Hands launches its Wales, UK, chapter during Heart Month, expanding its global mission to educate girls on heart disease prevention.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, UNITED STATES, February 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Heart N Hands, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and empowering girls ages 10–18 about heart health and heart disease prevention, proudly announces the launch of its newest international chapter in Wales, UK, marking a major milestone as the New Orleans-based organization becomes a global nonprofit.
The Wales chapter launches during Heart Month, a month-long observance dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease—the number one killer of women worldwide. This global expansion represents Heart N Hands’ continued commitment to providing girls nationwide and abroad with lifesaving education and heart disease prevention tools.
Eva Jones will lead the Heart N Hands’ Wales chapter. Ms. Jones holds many titles, including International United Miss (IUM) UK Teen and Miss Wales, and is the founder of the platform For the Love of Books. In 2025, she served as a Heart N Hands Ambassador and will serve as Advisory Council Lead for Wales. Eva’s leadership reflects the heart of the organization—youth-led advocacy, education, and service. Through her ambassadorship, she demonstrated a strong passion for literacy, health & wellness, and youth empowerment.
“Launching our Wales chapter during Heart Month is incredibly meaningful,” said Essence Harris Banks, Founder and CEO of Heart N Hands. Eva represents the next generation of leaders, bold, compassionate, and committed to sustainable change. With her leadership, we are excited to expand our reach internationally and continue educating girls about loving and protecting their hearts.” The Wales chapter will focus on heart health education, youth empowerment, and community engagement, while also amplifying Heart N Hands’ global message: early heart disease prevention starts early, and ensuring that every girl deserves access to heart health education.
In addition to the Wales chapter, Heart N Hands has chapters in New Orleans, Houston, Nashville, Atlanta, Austin, and Dallas. Each chapter hosts heart health educational programs, wellness activities, and community events designed to promote heart-healthy habits and awareness from an early age.
