Programs

  • Program 1 [2020]

    Clinic Primary Program and Mission - Our primary program is to provide affordable access to high quality health care in Limon and surrounding 49 rural communitites on the Southwestern coast of Nicaragua. This includes primary care, diagnostics and urgent care for all ages.Over 28,500 people were helped at the Clinic across many services. Services that included standard medical attention to 23,444 patients, 13,028 pharmacy services and preventive education talks with over 10,000 local Nicaraguans. The Coronavirus had an impact on operations but we managed to push through and continue to help those in need. Our Community Outreach Program allowed us to reach over 10,000 individuals in 20 different communities. For example, delivery of hygiene kits to those in the community, purified water and medicines to those affected. Our facilities were maintained clean and sanitized 24/7. Implementation of a waiting area outside the Clinic, with a hand-washing station and isolation room for febrile patients allowed us continue operating. All staff were required to wear protective materials.

  • Program 2 [2020]

    Padrino Sponsor-a-Child Program - We have 67 children registered in the program from different communities, such as Limon 1, Limon 2, Canas de Garcia, Las Salinas, Virgen Morena, San Ignacio, Las Mercedes, El Asentamiento, among others. Children are matched with volunteers who provide financial sponsorship of monthly healthcare and education costs. The sponsors are called "PadrinosX and they enable each child to have healthcare and a formal education.The Padrino Program handed out uniforms and school supplies to each sponsored child. During the event, they also received physical examinations, laboratory tests, assessments of their nutrition and growth levels, and dental checkups offered by a volunteer from the ARTS (A Reason to Smile) organization.The clinic also partnered with ANF to start a Nutrition Program to fight malnutrition. The ANF Program consists of providing "manapacks" to each child in our Padrino Program, as well as providing grains, cereals and other food supplements to other members of the family. Overall, 46 families and more than 220 people will benefit from this great initiative.

  • Program 3 [2020]

    Healthy Eating Initiative - Our enthusiastic gardner, Eliezer, was extremely busy taking care of our organic garden and teaching his valuable knowledge in basic gardening, soil enhancement, nutrition and natural pest control to the community on a daily basis. Through the use of drip irrigation and the arrival of the rainy season, he had our garden looking beautiful most of the year.Since we started the program, we've created 52 organic gardens- including three at other local NGO's and three at local public schools, more than 250 people have directly benefited from the creation of the organic gardens, more than 1,000 individuals have purchased vegetables from the gardens and the Clinic. As part of the Healthy Eating Initiative, our beekeeping program is growing strong. One of the benefits or breeding bees is ecological balance. Our current goal is to increase the production of each plant species grown in our garden. Our beehives are currently solid and our plan is to multiply them little by little; however, our success is strictly linked to climatic behavior. The importance of promoting organic agriculture has special meaning for us and we are determined to continue our arduous efforts.
